That this wasn't the topic of this thread ;-) Otherwise I think it's not
worth changing a whole lot if stuff according to compat versions. It'll
be only confusing. But I welcome a patch for a new cObject GTMENU.
Though I suggest you discuss it's features and configuration first on
the dev list. The GTMENU has a feature set, but maybe a brain storming
releals some extra twist that might e nice to have.
