I've implemented just about everything I, Michael D, Snc, and Neverpanic can think of, so I was wondering if you guys had anything else you'd like to see check by doctor. Currently, doctor checks for:

If you don't already do this, it would be useful to check that:

* Xcode is installed
* the Xcode version is new enough to be supported by the OS X version (some users upgrade the OS and forget to upgrade Xcode)
* the Xcode version is not known to be outdated (see what the configure script already does)
* the command line tools are installed
* the command line tools are of the correct version for the installed version of Xcode
