Well, if you can easily create a DUChain from the output of the DMD
frontend thats probably fine. And as kdev-pg currenlty is "just another
parser generator" it wouldn't make a lot of difference I guess (except
that with kdev-pg your parser will already use Qt datatypes everywhere
so you don't need to care about conversion)
