Right.  The menus in Xcode do not have a “download command line tools” item as I think previous versions do.  Instead you have to traverse Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools… and that leads to the developer web site where the command line tools are located.  Also, I had to log into the site using my developer credentials.
