GMENU with IProc that writes additional headerData

ok, the problem would be that when a new menuitem is added that a new 
stylesheet has to be written, further - for the headers - on every page 
new stylesheets have to be written. so every single page must have its 
own stylesheet anyway...

ok, an extension that is just installed would be nicer though...

thx for your feedback!
