    I really want to know.

    Is he the Danish version of a telephone sanitizer? Will the world population die of an unsightly disease without him? Is Joe even a Danish name?

    That's probably just the path to some source file on the build machine. I think at that time iPhone Unity builds were semi-manual, and done on some box under Joe's account.
