I think thats the basic idea... The thing would be that portage should pr=
ovide=20
a couple of functions to easy the process of adding an entry to the menu.

Somethink like

add_menu(){
    mkdir -p ${MENUDIR}
    cat >> ${MENUDIR}/${PN} << EOF
?package(${P}):  section=3D"$2" icon=3D"$3" title=3D"$4" longtitle=3D"$5"=
 needs=3D"$1"=20
command=3D"oo$1" $mimetypes_item=20
EOF
}

So in an ebuild you could have...

add_menu Applications/Games amor.png "A waste of cpu" "Amor, a game" x11

Of course this is just a quick idea, I think that the function could be b=
etter=20
implemented so the way to call it is more straight forward.

Mario
