you know what? I have no idea what I was thinking about when writing my e-mail :-) Indeed, the AppImageKit project provides the appimagetool binary, which is not unreasonable to require to be installed when someone wants to create an AppImage. The appimage QBS module could use a Probe to locate it, or allow the user to specify its location. > Why do you need to build "runtime" from source?

My biggest concern was with the CPU architecture, as I was assuming (I didn't have an internet connection when I was thinking about this) that the AppImageKit project wouldn't make binaries but for x86_64; this is not the case, and binaries exist for all the most popular architectures.
