 As seen in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/61458 I was confused by the
 advice given by the warning message when the command line tool SDK was out
 of date.  It states to run xcode-select --install, but this is not
 sufficient sometimes.

 How about changing it to:

 Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools
 package by running `xcode-select --install'.  In some cases, you may need
 to remove /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools before doing so.

 I think this would reduce confusion and support overhead.
