The module "desktop-menu" in freedesktop.org CVS is about the right idea.
What it should do is take a particular .menu file and collection of
.desktop files, process those into a menu using a pluggable implementation
of the spec, and then validate that the implementation generated the
correct menu.

The idea is to detect cases where the same menu files and .desktop files
produce different results for different implementations, so we can
correct/clarify the issues that make implementations incompatible.
