It is possible to use the configure button. When you start your board
you can call bar_set(...) to ask for this button to appear.
Then when clicked, you have a specific entry to add in your board.
Sory not to be more detailed but I don't have the code here (look at
menu.c that uses it).

We try to avoid this because it makes thinks more complex, users are
either kids or teachers and they like simple thinks.
To me, doing turbo at level 3 is easier to implement and to use for the
end user.
