Hi Henrik,

sorry for the late answer, I should move this mailbox to a more
prominent place in mutt.

The main "feature" I introduced here is a /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.d/
directory where hobbit-plugins puts *.cfg files. It would be nice if
"include" directories supported wildcards, at the moment the init
script does something like "ls -1 /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.d/*.cfg >
/var/run/hobbit/clientlaunch-include.cfg" which is then included.

Here's what I did:

* add a new menu.css file
* add a menu.cfg that contains the actual menu as a HOBBITMENU
  variable
* add "include /etc/hobbit/web/menu.cfg" to hobbitserver.cfg (just
  before BBMENUSKIN)
* tweak web/* to use &HOBBITMENU:
  sed -i -e's/ Transitional//' -e'/"Topline"/i&HOBBITMENU' $S/etc/hobbit/web/*_header
  (the Transitional removal is to fix the Doctype, iirc the CSS didn't
  work otherwise)
* do not install wwwfiles/menu/menu_items.js.DIST in hobbitd/Makefile
* remove <script> from hobbitd/webfiles/bb_footer and
  hobbitd/webfiles/hobbitnk_footer

(These changes are applied on the fly at package build time, having
them included probably makes things easier.)
