What a strange design decision.

I've helped more than a few people diagnose errors in standalones that 
weren't evident in the IDE because of the additional objects being added 
to their first card.  Such errors are particularly hard to pin down 
because the objects don't exist in the IDE, which is the only 
environment that can run a debugger.

I can see having an "Include revGeneral" option turned on by default, 
but preventing people from doing anything else seems really odd.

One more reason to improve MC IDE for the masses:  it's the only way to 
make truly native Rev apps. :)
