Comment 10 for bug 538484

I know this bug hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm afraid (due to school, etc) that I haven't been able to contribute to it as I planned, but I'm starting to kludge my way through things. The newest Git of ige-mac-integration as maintained by John Ralls (http://github.com/jralls/ige-mac-integration/commits/ardour-cocoa) include a variety of new Cocoa-based menu implementations that appear to be increasing in update frequency and feature-set, in particular worth mentioning menu item sync and submenu creation/destruction/sync. It is not yet feature complete, although the branch name indicates it is being used in the Ardour port which means that it'll probably come along quickly due its being used in a commercial product. This "newer" library includes many functions that resemble the menu manipulations (and therefore, could be triggered in similar ways) as they are in Inkscape. However, being Cocoa-based, these pull in Obj-C... which isn't all that good with my inability to manipulate the build system. Could they even be used in Inkscape?

I'm raring in "solution-mode" for this even though next week is exam week... I look forward to getting this stamped out, though!
