That versioning issue was about the mismatch between the engine and the IDE.
The IDE is open source and not their responsibility, so that one's ours (and
easily addressed).

But the engine is the engine, and it should be able to run by itself no
matter where it is.  In OS X the engine includes the .app bundle, and it's
just silly to have to dissect one engine to move and rename parts into
another just to get back to a robust engine that worked anywhere.

I have a note in to Scott for advisement on how best to proceed.  It would
be useful to know why Rev unexpectedly quits when outside of its native
folder, and may just be a bug.
