 and only generate a warning message for packages that require the
 application (if there are any).

 The would be our goal. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to see whether
 a port requires Xcode or whether the Command Line Tools suffice.

 We had an idea that we wanted a student to implement during Google Summer
 of Code on using our trace mode facilities to hide the Xcode installation
 unless a port declares a dependency. See wiki:SummerOfCode#xcode. This
 would allow us to programmatically find ports that require Xcode to build.
 Unfortunately, nobody has implemented this yet.
