Indeed, noted.

The question stands what is needed to build that parser. I'm guessing KDevelop isn't the only tool that can leverage libclang without requiring a full LLVM+CLang install.

Easier I don't know, for the end user who grabs the installer image probably yes (though size aside s/he probably won't care which libclang is being used).

If you don't have to embed a full LLVM+Clang toolchain, then yes.

Not even for building the parser?
Being able to use an existing, external clang install would still be preferable in my opinion but I have no idea if that would even have been possible.

Well, you just asked about dmg creation, and a good number of the kde-mac people use KDE through MacPorts :P
