Yes.

You cannot read it from the executable on Mac OS X, because the DWARF 
info is left in the object files (to speed up and to reduce memory 
requirements for linking). So it's either parsing the locations of all 
object files and then parsing those (if they still exist), or locating 
and parsing the .dSYM bundle. Only supporting .dSYM bundles would be 
fine too, as far as I'm concerned.
