Great stuff, Wilhelm. Thanks for adding that.
Have you considered adding it to the latest version included in in the
MC IDE v2.6b7 package? A lot of changes have happened in that version,
including the ability to import the Rev 2.5 XML files in addition to the
older revdictionary.rev stack.
If so, please add yourself to the credits when you're done and pass it
back and I'll gladly put it in the next build.
