[lazarus] Added TEdit and TLabel Button to the FCL

[Cliff Baeseman]

Yes there is a menu factory macro. I do not know if this will work in our
GTK objects or not.

Our component framework is very extendable it may be that we can support
both methods.

I will take a look at the menu factory code.

It's been a while since I did any GTK programming, but isn't there a
"MenuMaker" object or some such.  As I recall, what this did was, when
given a set of data, made the appropriate Menu* calls.

It seems to me that this would be the most logical (and the most like
Delphi) way to do menus.  I may bo totally wrong though.
