Merging PPC and OSX revolution folders

I need to keep Classic version of Revolution, although I'm currently running
mostly in OS-X.  A full copy of either is around 37MB.  Is there any reason
I can't merge the two?

AFAICT, the only differences between them are:
    - the engine at the top level (both named Revolution)
    - the engine inside the components folder (each has the other; with
      the Classic version being named "MacOSFat", the OS-X version
      "Revolution")
    - in the OS-X version, the various text files have a ".txt" extension.

Questions:

    - are there any other differences I should care about?

    - is there any reason I shouldn't simply put both engines at the
      top level of the folder, and both in the "Components" folder?

    - Revolution 1 (various versions) didn't seem to be bothered if
      I renamed the 'top-level' app (eg to "Revolution 1.1.1r2").
      When beta testing 2.0, it seemed to mess up the Distribution
      Builder if I did this.  Has this been fixed, or do one or both
      of the engines insist on being called "Revolution" at the top
      level of the folder?  (If both, this is clearly going to mess
      with my cunning plan...)

TIA,
