The limitation is because the standalone builder must copy your stack 
and rename it when making the new engine standalone. It names the engine 
the same name as your stack. The build will fail if your stack doesn't 
have an extension, because then you have two files with the same name, 
which of course isn't allowed. The ".rev" extension allows your stack to 
be copied and renamed without getting a file naming conflict.

I don't think the stack must have a ".rev" extension -- any extension at 
all will do, because the standalone builder strips off the extension 
when creating the new stack. So in theory, you should be able to build 
with .mc stacks as long as they have the extension. I haven't ever tried 
it, but I think it should work.
