That is a more Cuis-like solution than my proposal.

What I would really love to have is some facility,
that provides some means to add tools that are implemented
in packages that in turn are filed in upon request.
Scanning the filesystem upon menu-creation is
not an option. One old hard-disk/NAS,
like my old time-capsule, will block the menu
for at least 10 seconds until the disks have spun up.

I am rather reluctant to say yes.
I have the tendency to over-engineer solutions.
