Don't know about Windoze, but I swap the linux engine all the time
when I'm working on it. And nothing monolithic about it.

If you have it installed for all users, it's in /opt/runrev/<version>
and it's called livecodecommunity.i386 (or if you're using LC 7.0
64-bit it's called "LiveCode Community.x86_64"). I really wish it
didn't have a space in the middle, but that's what we're stuck with.
If you've installed it just for you then the the runrev folder is
probably off your home folder. In any case, it's a drop-in replacement
unless you also need to update the externals subfolder. But you know
what to do there.
