I thought the idea was that based on this value in the metadata the 
plugin would be placed in that menu...

But I know it is not implemented yet.

Maybe is it possible to let the 'addPluginToMenu' take this 
metadata-value into account? And if not available keep current 
behaviour: just put it in the plugin menu. Then we can get (maybe) rid 
of the rest of the 'addPlugingToXXXMenu?

if this is hard, I also would remove it. The fact that it is easy for 
the user to find out where to find it is not enough for me to keep it....
