true enuf in general ...

but _this_ proposed check would really be just a 'did you do a complete OS
install (including XCode 2)?' check, rather than any one particular 'widget'
etc.

have no idea HOW to check for XCode2 install other than looking in
/Library/Receipts ...

then again, a comment i the INSTALL/README would/should go just as far!

all in all, it's been relatively well behaved for me so far ... <keeping
fingers crossed!>
