Description

As seen in https://trac.macports.org/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I was confused by the advice given by the warning message when the command line tool SDK was out of date.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.
