Standalone version of Kile

I decided to give building a standalone version of Kile another try 
last night:

1. Creating a Carbon bundle/app in Xcode resulted in a file that was 2 
gigs. I know that won't work. Since I didn't know exactly what went 
into the KDE libs and KDE support packages, I just added everything in 
/opt/kde/libs, as well as Qt. Is there any way to get a handle on only 
the packages in KDE libs and KDE support? When Ranger Rick a standalone 
version of Scribus last summer, I believe the bundle he built included 
both kdelibs and Qt, and was only about 20 megabytes.

2. Is there any way to modify generateapps.sh so that it only builds a 
single app? Say, by copying it into the Kile source directory? I don't 
know Perl so I wouldn't know where to begin this on my own.

3. How does one pick an image to be the icon for the app bundle that is 
built by generateapps.sh?

4. I'd love to just have a drag-and-drop app bundle of Kile for 
distribution. If that won't work, and if I want to put together a 
single package installer for OS X LaTex users not interested in all the 
other KDE stuff, I'm thinking that a mkpkg installer including Ranger 
Rick's pkg installers of Kdelibs, Qt, KDEsupport  (plus of course Kile) 
would be the simplest approach. Or is there a better way?

Thanks for any advice!
