Only if you don't compile it as part of the binary. Yes, you can do that. > > - on some platforms, embedding resources gives faster startup and > > resource > > > > access.

I think that will be better spent that the whole rest :-/ It would not surpise me if any other part of Qt gains a hard dependency on llvm due to it's parser. It makes developers waste much less time than making your own. -- Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
