Menu reworking

After using rockbox for a while I've finally decided that the menu system needs a bit of a rework - the settings in particular.
I remember one of the hardest things about switching to rockbox was the way the menu was laid out, I could never remember where things were, but I got used to it gradually.

The main thing I want to change is to get all the settings under a general "Settings" menu item, so you don't have 3 or 4 items in the main menu relating to settings.
Midkay expressed his wish to keep "Sound Settings" in the top level of the menu, which I'm happy to keep, but I'd like feedback as to what people thing should change, before I start working on the code.

If I enable my crystal ball, here's a summary of the suggestions you will get:

"I want my favourite options on top, and easily accessible via the Rec button"

I've created a wiki page with a rough first shot - it's still very much open to changes, please contribute.

Hey I'm glad someone spends a few thoughts on the usability of rockbox!
I personally wouldn't like to have the bookmarks on the first menu item as i never use them.

And some more thoughts on the menu logic. Why are the recording screen and the fm radio menu items while the wps isn't? This doesn't seem logical to me. For me these three screens (wps, recording and radio) should somehow be treated similarily.

That's just my 2ct.

This gets shot down every time (well, the one time) I brought it up, but I'm going to say it again.

We need customizable menus, or a customizable area where we can put our favorite menu options.
