 This page says, "Ensure you have at least the command line tools installed
 by running xcode-select --install from a Terminal. Make sure to also run
 this even if you have Xcode installed...."

 You might want to remove this instruction. At least with Xcode 5.0.2, the
 CL tools are included internally as part of the package contents of Xcode.
 When one runs that xcode-select command, the CL tools are installed
 externally in a duplicate folder at /Library/Developer. Not only is it
 unnecessary to run that xcode-select command, but doing so results in two
 sets of CL tools, in two separate locations.

 The --install switch is no longer listed as an option for xcode-select.
 See the output of xcode-select -h. It seems to be a bad idea to tell
 everyone to execute this command on Mavericks.
