Yeah, that would be in LowMem.h

No, not really (although I hope that you'll refrain from setting MenuBarHeight
to other values than 0 or the "natural value" for your system :-)

Not yet, but now you mention it, I could probably implement that rather
quickly[*] (Do you have a PPC system? I could send you a test release.)

No problems that you wouldn't get with other Mac applications (i.e., you better
have a good reason for changing the menubar height).
