Yes. I am not very familiar with the tools like ar, libtool, runlib and 
etc. so I am not sure how to either. I know that libtool on Mac OS X 
knows how to put together a universal library, but that is all I know.

Maybe this can be of some use?

I have thought about this, I'm not sure how difficult of a task it will 
be though. Right now I include the libetpan source and I have a build 
step which executes ./configure && make outside of Xcode.

Maybe I'll have to ask someone on one of the Apple lists?
