Note that there may be a bug in Xcode 4.4's handling of installing the 
command-line tools -- at least under OS X Lion (10.7.4): I did use the 
Xcode Preferences to install the command-line tools, but still in a 
Terminal session clang showed as the old version; and when I reopened 
Xcode and its Preferences, it did not indicate the command-line tools as 
installed.

So instead I went to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action,
selected "Command Line Tools (OS X Lion) for Xcode - July 2012", 
downloaded it, and installed it from the downloaded .dmg.

Now I do have the current version of the command-line tools installed 
(e.g., clang is version 4.0), and the Xcode app Preferences does show 
the tools as installed.
