[wp-hackers] Real Menu/Submenu Hooks (patch)

[Robert Deaton]

That, and it adds the items before the rest since the other $submenu
items haven't been declared yet, which isn't always a desirable
behavior. This way, it displays where it problably should, and yes, it
keeps plugins from breaking when there's newer versions that don't use
the same pages as the top menu like Matt said.
