 I'm a fan of MacPorts but I recently tried Homebrew since my coworkers use
 it.  I switched back to MacPorts because it has the packages I need.
 However, while trying Homebrew I felt the way it handles installing Xcode
 is brilliant.  We should steal that idea.  It does everything for you so
 that it can't get messed up.  With MacPorts, when walking people through
 the install procedure we always get tripped up while installing Xcode,
 especially the part accepting the Tersm of Service.
