I'd welcome any attempts to simplify the Xcode generator. But before I'd ack such a PR I'd like to know why this functionality was added in the first place. CMake still supports (does not actively break) Xcode 3. If there is no answer to that question: maybe you could test and limit your changes to a newer Xcode version (like 5 or above).
