MacPorts XCode Installation

[Haren Samarasinghe]

After reading the installation guide [1], quite a few people that I've introduced MacPorts to have thought that a full XCode installation is required. They're uncertain of doing this due to the large amount of space it requires.

Thanks,
Haren

In reality, I'd say that the majority of ports only require the command line tools. In the scenarios where XCode is required for a port, the user is normally alerted to this. I was planning on changing the docs [1][2] to show that XCode isn't required, but I wanted to first check whether this would be an acceptable change.
