port diagnose and xcode

[Michele Venturi]

What is wrong is that a simple package manager
requires an entire multigigabyte professional IDE;
I have even taken the time to talk to them about it
and file a bug about it,but they clearly don't care...
It's surely not a new issue,it's like that by design...
