Agree.

Ah. Ic. Ok. Then we'll have some long menues. Maybe some
Submenus would be in order then. E.g. the Hotkeys for
starting the analysis engines currently add 2 lines (this
menue gets really long). So probably one could group that
with scid's normal "start engine" calls. Stuff like that.
I'll think about this and maybe come up with some addtional
suggestions.

Just to note that for compatibility reason I'd suggest not
to switch to Tk 8.5 upon the day of arrival but when it made
it into the major Linux Distributions. (Noting that Tk is
still 8.4 even in Debian Unstable. I consider everything
that made it to Debian stable "spread wide enough".)
Otherwise the build requirements would be really high.
