Might as well not use Xcode at all, in that case... Bundling isn't hard 
?
That is: why not use configure / make to build the wx.framework as well 
?

Mixing and matching and running ./configure automagically seems even 
more
awkward than requiring the users to learn about configure and wx-config 
?

I think wxWidgets should continue to support both Xcode & autoconf+make.
Frameworks and Application bundles don't change this, just complicate 
it.

I had more thought of it as adding a new "framework" target to Make, 
and a
"framework" target to Xcode than changing the old ones or any 
requirements.
