In my prefix file that is used to build precompiled headers, I include the 
following after #import-ing all the framework headers. It replaces the standard 
definition with a version that doesn't insert quotes around an unquoted string 
literal.

#undef CFSTR//(cStr)
#ifdef __CONSTANT_CFSTRINGS__
#define CFSTR(cStr)  ((CFStringRef) 
__builtin___CFStringMakeConstantString(cStr))
#else
#define CFSTR(cStr)  __CFStringMakeConstantString(cStr)
#endif
