That appears to be the case, though I'm not going to spend the time  
making 100% sure

-v

That block detects the current version of xcode and sets those  
variables. xcodeversion has several possible settings, but the  
important bit is that Xcode of version 2.1 or later will have "2.1"  
be the value of that variable (according to the comments, no need was  
seen to know if it's later than 2.1).

xcodebuildcmd gets set to the proper command to use in order to build  
an Xcode project from the command-line - basically this is intended  
for systems with pbxbuild instead of xcodebuild.
