Maybe they're assuming anyone who wants it will sign up and download 
it? Or have I missed something?
You will probably be able to find the installation package in 
/Applications/Installers/ on his system (if he still has the bundle 
install and hasn't wiped it out yet).

If not, you can always copy if off your collegue's hard drive.
It being the installer package, of course. It installs stuff all 
over the place - apps, documentation, headers, libraries, etc., etc. 
Trying to copy all that stuff manually would be a massive pain.

I'm pretty sure that's what Chris meant, but I figured it was worth 
spelling it out for the sake of the archives. (As if anyone reads 
them...)
I guess if we are going for completeness in the archives, someone 
should mention that, if you re-partition your hard disk and re-install 
from the DVDs, the dev tools/xcode installer will end up in the same 
place again. (Unless you do a custom install and deliberately deselect 
it, that is.) It's on the install DVDs (or CDs) for new machines, it's 
just not there as a separate package.

On new machines, it's under /Applications/Installers, if memory serves.

If you buy the OS separately - to upgrade an older machine for instance 
- a Dev Tools/Xcode CD is included in the box.

Thanks everyone,
I guess I should have figured that HDs are so huge these days, 
putting a few hundred megs of optional content is actually easier 
than putting it on a CD.
