[John Vokey]

Sorry, Richard, I did mean to reply in the affirmative: a one-click  
solution for setting up MC would be welcome.

I keep trying Rev, and I always end up back in MC for any real work.   
Undoubtedly, at least some of my discomfort with Rev and preference  
for MC is simple familiarity differences, but I suspect are large  
part is general preference for simplicity and ``less is more''.  But  
then, I don't build standalones, I just create and use stacks where  
the integration of the IDE and the stacks is paramount.
