If your libObjective project has already been installed in the local 
domain,
references to classes in it should automatically be found.
You should only need to use the -Projects flag if you are making 
references to
uninstalled projects (or if the libObjective project has been installed 
in another location).

The -Projects flag is for references to uninstalled projects, and it 
takes a *dictionary*
as an argument, not a filename.  The dictionary contains (as keys) the 
paths to the
.igsdoc files of the uninstalled projects, and (as values) the paths to 
the directories
in which the uninstalled projects will eventually be installed.

Unless you have interdependencies between projects, the simplest way to 
do things
is to build documentation for dependent projects after installing the 
documentation
of the projects they depend upon, thus avoiding the need for the 
-Project flag.

I think we are waiting for someone to volunteer to implement them :-)
