You can make two menu items with different mnemonics but the same
target/action, but then use Carbon functions to hide one of them while
still leaving its mnemonic active.

See "http://cocoadev.com/index.pl?NSMenu" for how to get a Carbon
reference to a Cocoa menu item, and <Menu.h> for the appropriate hiding
functions. I think there are two such functions, one that deactivates
the mnemonic, and one that doesn't.
