Patch works fine.

However, while working on the eclipses plugin, the need to add custom menu items and sub menus to the main menu (e.g. below the 'View' menu) came up. The plugin requires this features in order to allow users to select a certain eclipse from the menu. It could be implemented using a flexible createPluginAction( QtMainWindow::Menu parentMenu ) method in QtMainWindow. This method could create an action (replacing createRenderPluginAction()) below a given QtMainWindow::Menu (enum) and return it. Additionally, this would allow the cross-hairs plugin to create its menu action from within the plugin. Therefore removing cross-hairs plugin code from the core. It would also fix the problems this patch targets at. A second method createPluginMenu( QtMainWindow::Menu parentMenu ) could provide similar functionality for sub menus (e.g. a sub menu containing a list of eclipses).

Since the above changes could be implemented easily, it may be a good idea to bundle or replace them with this patch. Are there any objections? If you think, the additions should go into a separate patch, ship it!
