 As seen in 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 message when the command line tool SDK was out of date.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.
