The simple way to use externals is to statically place them next to the 
executable.  Let's see if I understand the implications under this 
scheme.  That means they have to be two places, one is next to the 
Revolution application.  The other is in the project folder.  In the 
project folder they have to be next to the splash stack or main stack, 
so they will be next to the app in Windows.  The externals property is 
not modified, you explained.  The relative location would then be next 
to the internal executable in the OS X bundle.  Does that work?  The 
defaultFolder is way up at the folder containing the app.  I thought 
they had to be up next to the .app.  How is this going to work?
