Vladimir,

this enhancement is part of my patches which i sent some days ago.....

I introduced an option "--label STRING" which will be used for display
if it's set and which can also have environment variables (another part
of my patches).

It's just a matter of taste though if to use a new option --id for an
invariant menu id or to use the actual menuentry title as the invariant
id and to have a new option --label for the display string. Both ways
provide backward compatibility.

BTW, I just wonder a little that you refused my enhancements due to code
freeze but are now enhancing anyway ;-)

Andreas
