Heh. Looks interesting. I think it ought to be do-able; if you check
out the GMENU page in TSref [1], you see that the menu items are just
GIFBUILDER objects. Then if you go over to the GIFBUILDER part of the
TSref [2], you see that you have the abiltiy to a) flip objects
vertically (for the reflected letters), and b) use masks (for the
gradient).

PS - for a nice example of masking with gifbuilder, see the 'Humidor
Cam' part of the Typoscript and Beyond document [3].
