Take a look at this program, it's written in Python:
http://menumaker.sourceforge.net/

You can download it here:
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/menumaker/menumaker-0.99.7.tar.gz

It worked very well with Debian/Ubuntu but I get an error when running it on
Fedora (any version):

mmaker -v -f -t gterm icewm
