For copyright reasons we can't include Rev's handlers directly in the MC 
IDE distribution.  We can, however, create a library importer. 
Currently one needs Rev anyway to get the engine, and with some of the 
changes in an upcoming release of Rev it may be beneficial to require a 
Rev install somewhere on the drive to draw parts from anyway.

I would rather wait for the next Rev release before adding such a 
critter to MC, but in the meantime if someone wants to make a plugin for 
importing Rev libs I see no reason not to.
