Excellent choice...

Assuming that build_config() and your other functions are properly declared  
and/or prototyped, this is almost right. Leave off the "()" when including the  
function in the call to wmenuitem(). The way you have this written, what's  
being passed to wmenuitem() is the return value from calling build_config()  
with no arguments. Simply sayding (...,build_config,...) will put the address  
of the build_config() function into the parameter list for wmsnuitem() - but  
only, as I mentioned, if it's been previously declared.
