While AES redrawing menubar when form_dial co-ordinates covered
menubar would need even less changes to applications...

That code was AHCC (+ Pure-C?) aes.h specific.  It didn't
build with GCC.

Updated static menu structure + couple of defines for AHCC allow it to
be compiled with both GEMlib and AHCC aes.h.  You can find it from here:

(See "str_menu", "menu_tree" and related defines in filler.c.)
