I'm still shocked there's no standard way to do this...
I think you're taking the wrong approach, conceptually. Usually, you
have a controller, so you can just create a controller that loads a
NIB and point the outlet at the menu. Create a new instance of this
controller each time, not just the menu. Your app-specific logic for
the menu should be in that (menu-specific) controller anyway.
Alternately, instead of loading a new menu each time, just copy the
menu. It supports the NSCopying protocol, after all.
As always, we are back to Cocoa's rule #1: If something seems to be
incredibly complicated or impossible to do in Cocoa, you're doing it
the wrong way. Cocoa encourages good designs.
