I take that back now. What I meant was that in OS X you need to create a 
standalone-building version of the app so that the standalone builder 
tool in MC will recognize the engine and use it to build a standalone. 
The resulting standalone can open stacks. I also said (as per above) 
that dropping stacks onto this standalone-only-building engine wouldn't 
work in OS X, but further experiements show that it does -- as long as 
all the resource files are included in the bundle (as Klaus pointed 
out.) My first experiment failed because I was missing many of the 
bundle's resource files.

However, the licensing requirements in 2.7 have changed and it is no 
longer legal to build a custom player. This is a separate issue.
