Hi All,

 An initial version of skry, which will manage menu entries for installed
 spells, is going to be in the 1.0 release.

 This version will provide a dialog (or Xdialog) interface to installed
 spells which have X11 applications to run. In the future it will also
 drop in menu entries into your favorite window manager (such as GNOME,
 KDE, Blackbox, WindowMaker, XFCE, etc.).

 All that is required to register your spell (x11 apps only) is to
 add an entry in your DETAILS file:


MENU_ITEM="gcvs"
MENU_DESC="gcvs - a graphical front end for CVS"


 So. That's basically it, very simple. I'm thinking about removing the
 MENU_DESC and just using SHORT, what do people think?

 At any rate, please get your MENU_ITEM entries in the devel grimoire.


 Also, what do people think of the need to support MENU_ITEM[0] MENU_ITEM[1]
 and so on? Does anyone think this will be neccesary?

 Comments welcome, please.

- Nick
