Hmm.. the only problem I've run into using the menu factories, is the use
of the "/" to seperate menus.. When we wrote the bookmark menu in gzilla,
any url with a / in it would create a submenu in the menu.. kind of
anoying. If Anyone knows a way to escape these off hand I'd like to
know, or it will have to be rewritten eventually..
