Yes.

IMHO, possible future development is not a good reason to keep almost unused 
code.  After all, the code is in CVS if it is needed in the future.  Also, 
adding menu code is as easy in the toolkit code as in the non-toolkit code. 
The main difference is that the non-toolkit code does not use callbacks. 
Otherwise there is much duplication.
