    Description

      Compilation of XIB files should be moved into its own "ib" module.

      The cpp module is getting cluttered with things that technically aren't related to C/C+/Objective-C/Objective-C+ compilation and linking, and having an ib module will allow us to expose more properties allowing the user to control aspects of the nib compilation process.

      Run `man ibtool` to see the various flags that the ibtool program accepts.

      Exposed properties could include:

      (string) outputFormat: [ "binary1", "xml1", "human-readable-text" ]
      (bool) flatten
      (bool) strip
      (pathList) bundles
      (pathList) plugins
      (string) pluginPath
      (bool) autoUpgrade
      (bool) warnings
      (bool) errors
      (bool) notices

      and of course, (stringList)flags because ibtool has such a massive amount of options we can't possibly provide properties for all of them given that normal usage is unlikely to ever encounter the majority of them.
