Of course menus *can* be a module.  It's just that the menu code
was not written to run independently of fvwm and is thus
interwoven tightly with fvwm's data structures.  Well, and as long
as menus grab the pointer and the keyboard, processing module
messages is pointless since the funtion execution code needs (?)
to grab the pointer too.
