True. I need to put some thought into redesigning the MenuFactory stuff --
I'm not terribly fond of the current code, and since MenuFactory is
already a C simplification, it's not clear that using it from Perl is the
best approach.

Currently the translation from a Perl HV to a GtkMenuEntry is a bit too
literal, and should be improved.

Something tedious with dynamically created subs or closures, I'm afraid.
