Actually that is what I was going to suggest.  Otherwise we are going to
have to write some sort of protocol document that everyone writing scripts
for libh will have to follow to prevent menu bar confusion.

I haven't looked at the scripts much be I think we will have to restructure
it a little, and create what I call subtasks.  For instance the disksetup
code creates a dialog box, but I think people might want to go back and
change things after they start adding packages and stuff.

I am looking into both those bugs now.
