Unfortunately I just realised why this change isn't so good - it
causes the menus to be built when JS is loaded. That's not good, as we
really want the Tools menu to list all items, all of the time - it's
important that menu stays consistent so that users don't get confused
when they find an option they expected to be there, isn't.

Is there any way you can think of to have the menu items added at
startup, but the rest of the code loaded as needed?

Of course, whatever we do with Grunt/webpack will make this moot
anyway, so don't spend much time on it..
