Probably, Mac App Store instalation would be the best?
I don't know, do Apple policies allow to install a command line
utilities via Macc App Store, but at least apple itself install OS X
Lion and XCode via MAS. So, there is technical posibility to install
arbitary toolset, not only pure GUI.app located in /Application.
What do you say?
