Building a Boost Framework through XCode

Hey everyone,

I'm working with a group of people on a boost project and most members would rather not 
use the command line to build the boost libraries. My manager requested that I create a 
XCode project (using 2.1 on OS X 10.4.1) that builds a boost.framework file that will grant 
any project boost functionality when it is included. The framework must compile the headers 
and libraries using the .hpp and .cpp files. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to 
actually accomplish this?

My current strategy is to basically read through the jamfiles and figure out which .cpp files 
are necessary for each library (most likely all the files in the ..../src directory). From there I 
should theoretically be able to just add these files to an xcode framework target and compile. 
Right? Are there any environment variables or compiler settings that are going to need to be 
set?

Any help what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
