Sorry for the long delay, a preliminary menu system for fc3 is online,
just install "planetccrma-menus-audioapps-devel" and you should get the
necessary stuff. I was meaning to get this done properly but for now it
follows the pattern of the fc2 menus...

Here are some links I found while doing the menus a while back... I
don't know if they are still valid (or useful).

Check what gets installed with planetccrma-menus, etc. If you need a new
menu you will need a hook in redhat-menus as well.I never figured out
how to add a new category altogether...
