Installer hangs when Xcode 4.3 is incorrectly installed

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Installing Xcode 4.3 requires the user to execute:
xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Resources/Developer/
from the command line in order for xcodebuild to execute correctly. If this is not done, xcodebuild hangs. The installer requires xcodebuild; therefore, this condition will hang the installer. The installer should have a timeout on xcodebuild and give the user an appropriate error message.

It actually only hangs (or rather, infinite loops) when the xcode-select path is /, which you have to have set yourself. Anyway, r91518 should stop the installer from hanging, but you may still run into it when trying to build ports, if developer_dir isn't accessed first thus triggering the validity check.

I'm wondering what part of the installer requires xcodebuild.... Is it just that the installer uses "sudo port selfupdate", and every port command always calls xcodebuild now?
