Menu conversion script

[Adam Stephens]

Hi,

I just updated to version 3 today, and already I liked it better than
version 2.

I don't claim to be a master programmer, but I wrote a script to convert
version 2 (blackbox) style menus to the new version 3 xml format. The
script prolly will break in some situations, but it worked just fine for
me. I used python, as I am trying to become more familiar with it, but
feel free to convert it, change it, lick it and make it more friendly.
Hopefully this will benefit others. 

Enjoy,
