By the way, with hijack, could there be a way to add plugins or extensions so to speak.

I believe I'm the author of the first such "extension" you speak of. I wrote a little trivia game which binds to the hijack menu. It's raw and it's slow but it works. I'm also working on (very slowly) a lyrics scroller, but the lack of a fast graphics library has put the kaibosh on that project.

Do you have any good ideas? By all means, take a look at the Hijack source patch and there's an example of how to write the most rudimentary application to bind to the user menu. Once you get a cross-compiler, that is :)
