[Qt-interest] Application name with a space in Xcode?

Thank you, Peter. When you're just getting going it can be hard to tell if
you're missing something obvious!

I've tried a number of variations on this theme. I set the target to
"IgorPro" and I can get a clean build of IgorPro.app. I see that in our
presently shipping project the our CFBundleName is Igor Pro. So I changed
the info.plist I find in the Qt project folder to have Igor Pro. That
results in a broken application bundle because the info.plist inside the
bundle has Igor Pro, but the executable inside the bundle is still IgorPro.

Naturally, I can set things up in the Xcode project to do what I want. But
won't that break as soon as I need to run qmake again? Won't that happen if
I add ui files to the project?
