I have one of those. I used the Plugin Settings dialog to assign the 
stack to receive a "revOpenStack" message whenever a stack is opened. 
Then I put a handler in the stack script:

on revOpenStack
  start using this stack
end revOpenStack

Then I set the stack to open invisibly when Rev starts up. After that, 
the first stack I open puts my library in use. Actually, every stack 
that is opened puts it in use all over again, but that doesn't hurt 
anything. If it bothers you, though, you can add:

  if the short name of this stack is not in the stacksinuse
  then start using this stack
