Summary:
The Xcode UI should error when creating explicit circular target dependencies.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create two PBXAggregateTargets
2) Make the two targets explicitly depend upon one another

Expected Results:
Xcode should yell at you for doing evil things.

Actual Results:
Xcode sits idly by. (A warning may be shown when building, but it should error when creating a detectable, explicit cycle at creation time)
