Global menubars? Yes. P-A-C-K-A-G-E them. Indexing such packages
sensibly might be difficult, but keeping one level of undo in
lisp/menubar-items.el in case of _massive_ changes like the current
one should be trivial. The same strategy would work to mollify those
who hate accelerators, but I think that it's preferable to have a way
to make XEmacs ignore them upon command.

In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write
as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me
mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding.
