You are right Meryl, Snake's Revenge isn't part of the Metal Gear canonic storyline, as Kojima explained many times. In the E3 2006 Famitsu interview, Kojima said the games composing the MG canonic storyline are only seven: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid: Special Ops, Metal Gear Solid 4.
Also, Tttackler is wrong: Snake's Revenge was NEVER released in Japan; the game was released only in North America and Europe, and was replaced by the official Metal Gear 2 in Japan.
I do not know about Meryl in this new game, I also thought about the possibility she could be one of Snake's enemies this time around. One thing I noticed is that it seems Kojima didn't show any "bad guy", with the exception of Liquid, this time around; it's strange, but it could be that he wants to unveil those that will be the game's "bosses" later, maybe at the Tokyo Game Show.
