One man's "sneakily" is another man's "conveniently".  I find Rev's solution
to be the simplest of truly platform-independent menu systems I've worked
with by far.

Keep in mind that the problem is the disabling of a menu item, not that Rev
automates dealing with Apple's inconsistencies between Classic and OS X (and
differences with Linux and Windows as well).

It seems submitting a bug report requesting the ability to disable the Quit
item when a modal is open on OS X should suffice.  I hope Rev doesn't take
away the unprecedented convenience it offers for platform-independent menu
handling.
