I implemented a menu compiler for one of my projects.  The compiler 
reads a textual description of the menu structure (including string, 
action code, etc.) and produces a numeric representation of the data 
which is stored in program memory.  The current system is built using 
a BX24 (AVR based) but I am considering re-implementing it using an 
AVR directly.

My system may not be as complex as yours and it is currently only in 
a single language.  You can see some of the menu structure on the 
project page at: http://tinyurl.com/2vtus
