How to use buildtool?

(Is this list dead? No postings for two years. Where else should I take this enquiry?)

I have a command-line tool written in C++ and built with XCode on a Mac, which I'm trying to port to a Linux machine.  I came across buildtool, which promises to interpret the Xcode project file and carry out the build using the gnustep tools.  I've installed gnustep, xcode, and buildtool, but it is not clear to me how to use buildtool. No documentation comes with it and I've found none on the web.

From reading the source code, it takes two arguments, the name of the Xcode project and a command to buildtool to tell it what to do with it.  I see nothing in the source to reveal what commands are available, except that the default is "build".  When I try that, buildtool begins by attempting to build a target that I don't want to build for this platform and wouldn't make any sense there (it's an iOS app).

How can I tell buildtool which target I want to build?  I have tried guessing its commands, but so far it has responded to everything with "Unknown build operation".
