Yes, oversize menus are my fear too. This is too close for comfort to 
the release to go around changing that piece of code. If Paul has a few 
savegames with large menus, I'd be happy to go in and code some 
extensions to the menu code (adding multiple columns for instance). I'm 
keeping the "new" menus for the wince port though.
