Can you or someone who has seen this installer update the documentation, or at least explain how to install those extra packages? The one user I emailed with said there were no options of any kind when installing Xcode 4 from the App Store.

I know that those have always been options, when installing Xcode through the Installer. I wasn't aware that the App Store used the Installer. In fact, wasn't won't-install-system-items supposed to be one of the guarantees of the App Store, and listed as one of the reasons why MacPorts wouldn't be allowed on the App Store?

Then again, Lion itself being distributed via the App Store kinda throws all that out the window.
