It's in gui_modules/menudata.py and is modelled after gmmenu.tcl. It's
just 4-tuples of strings (label, description, python command called,
grass module), where all four empty means a separator. These are
arranged in a tree (of tuples, but arrays would do) corresponding to
the menu structure, as pairs of ("menu entry",child) with child being
either a 4-tuple of entries or another pair.

The only tricky part is in those commands that require internal work
by tcl (mostly the first menu item); the rest are mainly
correspondences between menu items and grass commands.

I'd do that using a simple protocol (coding the python- ot
tcl-specific parts as special codes) to access a configuration file in
JSON, XML or tab-indented specifications. Not much time to do that
right now, though.

Daniel.
