there is a tool (e17genmenu) that does this - or parts of this already. the
idea is that e17 itself is "menu system agnostic". it doesnt care. it just
expects data to be improted into a format it handles natively by other tools so
the wm doesnt have code for N menu/app db systems in it. it only has 1.
