In another thread I mentioned the desire to make all MacPorts error  
messages short and sweet, and include a URL to a wiki page explaining  
the message further. So I would be against any change that makes the  
error messages themselves much longer or include URLs to Xcode  
downloads.

We want users to use the most recent version of Xcode for their OS.  
Links to the latest version for Leopard, Tiger and Panther are in the  
Guide:
