Attached are 3 diffs: 1) move_settings_into_system.diff - does what it says, makes the settings menu a submenu of system 2) merge_menus.diff - merges the items of the two menus with a bit of order tweaking and calls it system in the main menu 3) merge_and_call_settings.diff - same as 2 except the menu name is "Settings". This is to keep people happy although I think this is absolutly wrong.
