[Adium-devl] XIB concern

Answering my own question:
"A new format for nib file has been introduced in Xcode 3 for
development. Files using this new format are compiled into nib files
(version 3.0) during the build process. However the resulting nib
files cannot be read by Interface Builder nor iLocalize because they
lack the localization information (this is done in order to reduce the
size of the nib for the application but cannot be used for
localization). It is recommended to set the IBC_FLATTEN_NIBS flag to
NO in order to produce nib files that are readable by Interface
Builder and iLocalize."
So presumably we *could* switch to the newer format and set this for a
build for localizers to use, but it's unclear if it's worth it. The
iLocalizer developer mentions XIB support planned for 3.9 or 4.0,
although I'm not sure how that will work if even IB can't read
compiled nibs.
