I am currently thinking of writing a python script which takes a
ini-like file which can declare the menu structure and generate the C code.
This will make it easier for people to change the menus, but will not
eliminate the need for compilation.
Eventually, if I can get the parser implemented in C, then the need for
compiling will be eliminated.
