Readme installation guide suggestion for OS X #921

Description

Currently this readme says "For OSX, XCode will work". If people on OS X don't yet have Xcode installed, they may not want to download and install a very large (4.3 GB) program.

Luckily, on newer versions of OS X (10.9 and later), if you don't have Xcode installed, you can get GCC via the terminal command xcode-select --install - much faster and easier! And on older versions of OS X, you can go to Apple's developer site and get their Command Line Tools download (must register for an Apple account first). Here's a helpful blog post that explains these methods (not written by me).

It would be great for the readme to include this. :)
