Thanks to beland for all of the legwork on menus.

/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/panel/menus-8.4/ contains a snapshot
from ~aui/menu/tree/ as it existed yesterday; when I left last night
ghudson was working on a bleeding update which will actually bring the
menus up.  I'm on vacation now until April 9, but if it turns out that I
missed something crucial, someone from ops can persumably give someone
from aui bits to fix it (as with dash, facdev has write access, but it's
too early to expect other FLs to deal).

Please remember that these menus haven't had much review by us Support
types yet; in particular, TPS should treat them as a rough draft until
that is done.  I spoke with boojum, and we'll work on validating the
contents when I get back; if anyone else wants to be involved in the
gore just let me know.  Shouldn't take long to make sure the top couple
of levels are sane and while some stuff lower down is likely to be more
involved it shouldn't hold up TPS work.
