Summary:
Xcode misinterprets xcconfig files containing URLs, because it interprets “//“ as a comment token.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a project with a build setting, "MY_SETTING".
2. On the Debug configuration, set MY_SETTING to https://apple.com
2. Create an xcconfig file containing the following:

MY_SETTING = https://apple.com

3. Associate your new xcconfig with the Release build configuration.

Expected Results:
MY_SETTING should be "https://apple.com" (without quotes) on the Debug and Release configurations.

Actual Results:
On the Release configuration, controlled by xcconfig, the setting is "https:". Screenshot at http://bpxl.io/18BkG/3ZSHdDiG. Sample project attached.

Notes:
Conventional escaping doesn't work. If I write "https:\/\/apple.com" in the xcconfig, that's how it shows up in the build settings. 

A colleague suggested putting a null variable between the slashes, like https:/$()/apple.com, which is hideous, but does achieve the intended effect.
