Well, the parser itself exists, but it hands back a single config entry. What 
it should do is return a linked list of config entries, and the calling 
function can take care of creating an icon menu entry (and caption) for 
these.

There also needs to be a way to mark the default entry. (The parser could just 
return the default entry first of all).

CVS - check out the latest anoncvs and look in boot/IconMenu.c

See how the other icon menu entries are populated - they are done at runtime 
too :) 

Please send me the patch, when you've done this, or attach it to the list, and 
I'll have a dig at it.
