Yes, makefiles are used in a very limited way to get around some issues 
with Xcode, but 99% of the build is done with Xcode.  Custom commands 
are done with small makefiles.  I don't think that there is another way 
to do them.   Also, there are some makefiles used to get around some 
rebuild problems that Xcode has when linking to external libraries. 
However, the bulk of the build is done with native Xcode.

This sounds like a bug, can you send me (off the list 
AliRoot.xcodeproj)?  (It maybe a bug that I just fixed...)
