Are we talking here about requiring a post processor for the gcode just to do auto leveling? Or can you still use basic (3 or 4 fixed point) leveling without the processor?

Right! If the user does nothing, the Auto Bed Leveling code would do the default case of doing the whole bed. But if the user cared, they would just tell their Slicer to post process the GCode and the area being probed would shrink.
