Since Xcode uses libclang heavily, I'd presume it's available. But indeed, 
please check.

Not having a llvm-config is an issue atm -- since we're using it to figure out 
the include and library dirs of LLVM/Clang.

I have the feeling that you need to install LLVM/Clang on your on in order to 
compile programs against it. In fact, we cannot rely on Xcode being available 
anyway. You shouldn't have to install Xcode in order to compile kdev-clang, 
right.

In any case, please investigate and report back.

Thanks
