   NAME
        LayoutMenuItemsA -- position all the menu items. (V36)
        LayoutMenuItems -- varargs stub for LayoutMenuItemsA(). (V36)

   SYNOPSIS
        success = LayoutMenuItemsA(menuitem, vi, tagList)
        D0                         A0        A1  A2

        bool layoutmenuitemsa(struct menuitem *, aptr, struct tagitem *);

        success = LayoutMenuItems(menuitem, vi, firsttag, ...)

        bool layoutmenuitemsa(struct menuitem *, aptr, tag, ...);

   FUNCTION
        Lays out all the menu items and sub-items according to
        the supplied visual information and tag parameters.  You would use this
        if you used createmenusa() to make a single menu-pane (with sub-items,
        if any), instead of a whole menu strip.
        This routine attempts to columnize and/or shift the MenuItems in
        the event that a menu would be too tall or too wide.

   INPUTS
        menuitem - pointer to first menuitem in a linked list of
                   items.
        vi - pointer returned by getvisualinfoa().
        tagList - pointer to an array of tags providing optional extra
                  parameters, or NULL.

   TAGS
        GTMN_Menu (struct menu *) - pointer to the menu structure whose
            FirstItem is the menuitem supplied above.  if the menu items are
            such that they need to be columnized or shifted, the menu
            structure is needed to perform the complete calculation.
            It is suggested you always provide this information. (V36)

        For the following tags, please see the description under
        layoutmenusa().  their behavior is identical when used in
        LayoutMenuItemsA().

            GTMN_TextAttr
            GTMN_NewLookMenus
            GTMN_Checkmark
            GTMN_AmigaKey
            GTMN_FrontPen

   RESULT
        success - TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise (signifies that
                  the textattr wasn't openable).

   BUGS
        If a menu ends up being wider than the whole screen, it will
        run off the right-hand side.
