	My main concern was providing a direct link to a downloadable  
package, and currently Apple provides none for 2.4.1 unless you log  
into connect.apple.com (at which point the link to the 2.4.1 bundle  
becomes unique to your session, invalid out of it). That's why I  
advertised 2.5, but I guess I could revert that to 2.4.1 and live  
without a direct link. Done in r32584

	I was saying "Xcode 3.0 developer tools" for a mixed result, but I  
understand your concern so I capitalized "Developer Tools" for  
improved readability.

	Thanks for the feedback! Regards,...
