I foolishly assumed that the Apple updater would update Apple stuff.  And indeed it has given me bugfix updates to Xcode Command Line in the past.  But it doesn't do Xcode version updates.  

You're right, I'm way out of date, and that was unintentional.  I'm getting the latest now.  Will try with that and report.
