If you allow the Distribution Builder to place it, check "All Others" 
in the "Inclusions" tab.

Though this is under the heading "Script libraries:", this is really an 
external.  This is called a library other places and, though in a 
general sense it is, this can be confusing.

The DB will place the revSpeech.bundle next to the .app file.  It is 
not inside or in some special system folder.

The DB will append the path to the external to the externals property 
of the main stack, so it should not mess up what you have.

A path to an external is relative to defaultFolder at the time the 
folder is loaded, which in this case is the folder containing the .app. 
  So if you move the external down inside the .app, then you need to 
include that path.  I don't think having redundant paths will hurt.  
So, if you will be moving this, include that in the external paths 
before you build.

It is a little scary not knowing what the DB will do to your stack, so 
to feel comfortable, you might want to add some debug into in some of 
your first apps.
