I am trying to find the minimal Xcode requirements for `brew` for
someone who wants to be able to compile "Unix command line tools" (as
opposed to iOS and/or Mac apps)

I looked at the Xcode packages (full list below) as well as
<https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Xcode> and started off by
installing these packages:

* gcc4.2.pkg
* clang.pkg
* llvm-gcc4.2.pkg
* DeveloperToolsCLI.pkg
* DevSDK.pkg [based on the github wiki page above]

and was able to install `brew install coreutils` without any problem
on my 10.7.1 installation.

I had *assumed* I might need:

* DeveloperTools.pkg
* DeveloperToolsSystemSupport.pkg

but I looked through the BOM and didn’t see anything that looked important.

I don't use X11, and I am not aware of any packages I use which
require OpenGL or Java, so I didn't install:

* JavaSDK.pkg
* OpenGLSDK.pkg
* X11SDK.pkg

I will report back any problems, but thought I would share my initial findings.

If anyone knows any brew programs which would obviously fail without
installing one of the other packages, please let me know.
