First of all, you need to familarize yourself with the guts of the new system -- at least how it is used. You can skip the builder for quite some time.

> -- expanded items support

One implementation of this would a) save a variable if there expanded items on buildtime b) on runtime, in menu_tree, you need to iterate a query for every level and add the expanded items on that item to parents ongoing. This means a maximum of plus six queries. And a menu table change.

http://drupal.org/node/128082 reroll, strip t() from descriptions, add t() to descriptions on runtime.

> -- The modules admin page is still not coded for the new system.

In progress, thanks.

> -- if you really want work, take over multiple menu support.

Huh, let's wait with this until the current big menu fix at http://drupal.org/node/131009 gets commited.
