[Dev] 0.5 Proposal for Menu Cleanup

[Bryan Stearns]

I think this is a good idea; also, whoever removes these items ought to 
also get rid of the supporting code in Main.py - a lot of it is eerily 
similar to the code supporting the "real" UI, which means that any 
change to the "real" code should include maintenance of the now-obsolete 
test code. (Further, it'd be nice to somehow segregate the rest of the 
(still-being-used) test code from the rest of Main.py, but that's extra 
credit.)
