 The menu welcomes the player and is displayed when pressing 'ESC'. This
 ticket is the implementation of the concept from ticket #250.

 == Starting point ==
 There is a very simple example in the media repository (media/gui/scripts)
 that demonstrates how you could script a menu. [[br]]
 This however is only side: You will also need to design new looks if you
 have the time. Otherwise use the default and create GUI sheets (the actual
 pages for the user). [[br]]
 Improve the usability of the menu, extend where needed and add new
 features.

 == Goal ==
  1. A menu that is providing an easy to use 'workflow'. A user want's to
 chose:
   * single player or multiplayer?
   * which gametype ?
   * what specific options ? (each gametype has got so called
 'configvalues' which enable the user to change the gametype's behaviour)
   * which level ?
  2. A tidy menu which does not confuse the user.
  3. A wonderful looking menu :D

 ==  Additional Improvements ==
  * Display a menu when the gametype ends.
  * Display preview images of the levels.
