Comment(by scribu):

 Submitted menus.diff in pre-alpha state, just to get the ball rolling.

 Basically, I copied all the code related to widgets and transformed
 sidebars into menus and widgets into menu items.

 Made some modifications to use current_theme_supports('menus').

 There are currently 4 default menu item types: Home, Link, Page &
 Category.

 @ryanhellyer: The register_menu() function has 2 arguments to deal with
 markup: 'before_menu' and 'after_menu'.

 Saving menu items into menus is currently broken.

 == WP_Menu class ==

 We have nice classes for handling individual menu items: WP_Menu_Item and
 WP_Menu_Item_Factory, but the code that deals with entire menus relies on
 a lot of global variables.

 So we need a WP_Menu class that holds all the information about a
 particular menu.

 We might also need a WP_Menu_Map class to hold all the menus in one place.

 == Hierarchical items ==

 For page and category items, we need to handle child elements. I'm
 thinking of an option for each item to specify the depth to which child
 elements should be displayed.
