static - How do I create an iPhone framework and use it in other iPhone applications

Question

I would like to create a framework for some reusable code that I would like to include in other iPhone apps. What is the best way to do it? Ideally, I would like it to work just like builtin frameworks and have the app use it without mucking around with build files.

Apple prevents the use of custom frameworks on the iPhone. But you can use good old static libraries. In the 3.0 GM SDK there's even a project template for that, but you can also simply set up a static library target yourself.
