Go ahead do it ! There's actually a "bug" documented on SF, which say
"reorg menuconfig".

Thanks!  Here's a quick "style guide" to keep it looking good and
running efficiently:

Do NOT mix menus and selections items on the same menu.  It makes it
look like crap IMO.  (think of the old "network" submenu - yuck!)

Do NOT nest menus more than two deep.  (no deeper than they are now)
This makes it easy to navigate through everything easily.  Especially
nice for us developers who like to turn on all options for releases to
be uploaded to the FTP server.

Try to group items in categories so that lists of items are not too
long, nor or are they too short.  Again, easier for us developers to 
hop through all the items before compiling a release to be uploaded.
