build_framework.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
The script builds OpenCV.framework for iOS.
The built framework is universal, it can be used to build app and run it on either iOS simulator or real device.

Usage:
    ./build_framework.py <outputdir>

By cmake conventions (and especially if you work with OpenCV repository),
the output dir should not be a subdirectory of OpenCV source tree.

Script will create <outputdir>, if it's missing, and a few its subdirectories:

    <outputdir>
        build/
            iPhoneOS-*/
               [cmake-generated build tree for an iOS device target]
            iPhoneSimulator/
               [cmake-generated build tree for iOS simulator]
        opencv2.framework/
            [the framework content]

The script should handle minor OpenCV updates efficiently
- it does not recompile the library from scratch each time.
However, opencv2.framework directory is erased and recreated on each run.
