Well, for all of you people hypothesizing about sideways scrolling menu
bars, it has basically already been implemented for Dave McWherter's
Vantage/McSink.  Since he put the menu bar inside the window, and the
window is resizable, the menu bar had to scroll.  Check it out.  It's
not too bad.

I also agree that developers should try as hard as possible to cut down
the names so that they will squeeze in without scrolling.
