[support] Porting from Static Menu to Taxonomy Question

[Ken Dow]

You could modify the taxonomy_menu module to have the top level link  
constructed so it points to something predictable location. For  
example, the module could always link top level to "/vocabularyname"  
and you could manually create a node at that path each vocabulary  
(using the menu module). Not perfect, by workable.

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They  
seem more afraid of life than death.
