Here are the instructions from Read-Me

============  Installing the MetaCard IDE  ================

To run MetaCard you need two things:

     The MetaCard IDE
     You can download the latest release build or any of the in-progress
     review builds at the URL noted above.

     Revolution engine
     The engine that drives the MC IDE is Runtime Revolution. The latest
     version is available at <http://www.runrev.com>.

After downloading you'll need to placed the engine into the MetaCard 
folder, renaming it to "mc.exe" on Windows, "MetaCard" on Mac 
Classic, and "mc" on Linux.

On OS X you need to copy the executable from the the Revolution bundle in:
    Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution
...to:
   MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard

============

Are you saying that it is enough to make a bundle with MacOS folder 
and place the engine there? Info.plist, PkgInfo, or other files are 
not needed?
