ok ... that would be ok ... what needs to be done is a small script that 
can run during make install or package installation ...

again .. a problem is install is done as root ... and root should not really
have preferences ...

one other idea would be for the menu editor to construct a user menu
out of the system menu according to some arguments

again ... most likely a feature that should be in the menu editor .. perhaps
stating the files and showing their mtime
