Unable to install without Xcode #266

~ $ brew install neovim-dot-app
==> Installing neovim-dot-app from rogual/neovim-dot-app
neovim-dot-app: A full installation of Xcode.app is required to compile this software.
Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient.
Xcode can be installed from the App Store.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

I understand Xcode can be a dependency for building but I think users should be able to install the app without having to install full Xcode which is multiple gigabytes.

Would it be possible to release pre-built binaries updated even monthly?

I was able to compile from source with Xcode. It is a bit weird that compiling from source does not require devtools but installing through a package manager does.
