I think this is an excellent idea because many people I've shown the 
menu found it nice but too diffcult for them as they don't know how to 
write C code.

configuration files.
I had some troubles with some earlier version leading to some crash. I 
like It ;)

If it helps you, here come my vote:
1- Vesa
2- No compilation for creating some menu
