There's a PD program running around called MenuPal that does EXACTLY what
you require.  It offers support for not only popup menus but tear-off menus
(a tear-off menu is a menu that can be "removed" from the menu bar, thereafter
being displayed in a window on the screen.) as well.  The archive has no
source, but will send it off to anyone who wants it and (if enough requests)
to comp.binaries.amiga.

The only problem it has is when rendering a menu with CHECKMARK enabled...
the checkmark will someetimes obscure part of the menu text.
