Description

If you copy the emptyExample project, and want to modify header search paths in XCode 4 from the Project.xcconfig file, you can't change the header search path since it has ben overwritten in the project file. If you look under the levels in build settings, it not the Config.File column that is green, but the emptyExample column.

Research direction

Inspect the emptyExample project file and Project.xcconfig, then reproduce the copied-project build in Xcode 4 while viewing the HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS levels. Compare which setting takes precedence; done means the Project.xcconfig value remains editable and effective without being overwritten by the emptyExample project file.
