[Cuis-dev] WorldMenu

[Hernan Wilkinson]

Hi Luciano,
 adding options to menus based on packages is already solved. Look at the
class DynamicMenuBuilder.
 In fact, it is used to create the world menu beside other menues like the
editor menu.
 Hilaire, does the DynamicMenuBuilder satisfy your needs?

Cheers!
Hernan.
