The trick now is to update the executable name in the info.plist file 
within the bundle.

Perhaps the easiest way to use the latest engine with MC is to start 
with a copy of the last MC OS X engine and copy only the executable from 
within the Rev bundle and rename it "MetaCard" within the copy of the MC 
bundle.

The instructions posted at the top of the MC IDE page will work well if 
you start with a copy of the MC engine:
