The MC IDE will be at SourceForge, on Scott's recommendation.

The engine is available at RunRev.com, and since releases of the engine and
releases of the MC IDE will not likely coincide it seems simpler to keep the
download small by not including the engine.

Additionally, keeping the open source IDE distro separate from the
proprietary engine clarifies potential misunderstanding about license
applicability.

Am I overlooking somethimg?
