Perhaps, I'm not enough of a shell nor cmake expert to say...

Not that I know of.  That would be analogous to...?  What would it do?  

For now, I've created this bug:

CMake should support default installation of Xcode.app only, without 'command line tools' extras
<http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13408>

Relatedly, on my new-from-the-store Mac Mini, I'm getting two test failures:
<http://open.cdash.org/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=2445802>

both because the tests can't find PackageMaker.  Indeed, PackageMaker is no longer part of the default Xcode.app, nor is it installed as part of the 'command line tools' but rather part of the separate 'auxiliary tools' (there are about 7 stupid installers for all these separate things now).

Perhaps these tests should only be run conditional on the presence of PackageMaker instead of allowed to fail hard?

Cheers,
