	I think that this is a great idea. The more that Blender can be
customized, the better.

	My one cent ;),

I really think that the best solution to this question would be to take 
the entire menu/hotkey system out of the binary all together and place 
it in an XML file that's parsed on startup. It would slow things down 
only the slightest bit (probably not noticably) and would allow for full 
customization of the interface.

Personally, the current hotkeys are frustrating for me because the 
current set-up just doesn't mesh well with my workflow. I recognize that 
many people like the current set-up, but it's very alien to me, and I 
don't appreciate being forced to alter my workflow so dramatically (even 
many industry monoliths like Dreamweaver and InDesign have totally 
customizable hot-keys).

just my 2 cents.
