Since we have increased the number of symbol tabs quite a bit, I think 
it would be a good idea to have just one tab
for the symbols. In this tab we could have a combobox to allow the user 
to choose a section. This would clean up
the side bar (making it easier to use). What do you think?

Don't know actually. I don't think it is a feature of automake, but 
apparently the install script does support it.
