Comment (by gelisam):

 > I tried it with a few work projects and it still fails for some of them,
 which is very frustrating.

 Note that the script alters the way in which dylibs are ''created'', not
 the way in which they are linked. As a consequence, you may have to delete
 your existing dylib files, otherwise your build tool may choose to keep
 your old broken dylib files instead of re-creating them using our wrapper
 script.
