It would not be very effective, which is why no one, including myself, |

has suggested it. The way this would wor is, there is a program called |
6 |
update-menus that should be called in the ebuild of any program that |
7 |
installs a menufile. This program reads through /usr/lib/menu/ which |
8 |
holds all the menufiles that packages have installed, and from these |
9 |
files it creates a menu for any program that installs a menu-method (a |
10 |
file describing how to generate a menu for that program). The menufiles |
11 |
would be added in with the next update to the ebuild (I assume). |
