Using new engines

[Richard Gaskin]

Right now, to use the latest Rev engine in MC requires:

- Win and Mac Classic:  rename the application to "MetaCard" and drop it in
your Metacard program folder.

- OS X: get the executable out of Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution
and move it to MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard (note the renaming of
that executable from "Revolution" to "MetaCard").  Also, in order for the
info.plist to be correct the version info there should be updated.

With all versions, until we updatd the mctool.mc stack file there will be a
dialog on launch noting a mismatch between the engine and the IDE.  You can
ignore it; it will go away shortly after the MC IDE is released as open
source.

The question is:  Is the OS X dissection annoying enough to buld a tool for?

It only take a moment to do, but is way stupid to contend with.  Maybe a Rev
plugin to update MC whenver a new Rev version is released?
