    Introduction
    ============
    A Menu is used to maintain a collection of options that need to be 
    represented to the user in a non-implementation specific way. The options
    can be described using the various option classes. A menu contains many
    options and associates them with a unique name and category.
    
    Usage
    =====
    Menus are used in the following way.

      1. Create an option object and configure all the attributes of the option.
      2. Add the option to the menu by specifying the option, name and category.
      3. Add as many options as necessary.
      4. When all the options are added, the menu can be stored and passed to
         the part of the system that will actually represent the menu to 
         the user.
