FWIW, I just created a new stack, added a menubar, and built a 
standalone, all using only Rev's default settings.  The engine responds 
to the OS' aevt/quit normally as expected, quitting the app without issue.

The appleEvent handler is helpful if you need special behaviors on quit 
other than just quitting, but it seems the engine does the basics well 
on its own with nothing else required.
