Some code could be lifted from msdos.c, which already does something like 
that.  It's been on my todo forever, but I don't think I will have time 
any time soon.

Btw, I suggest to emulate the non-toolkit version of the menu code, like 
the MS-DOS port does (look at the non-toolkit part of xmenu.c for the 
API), because it's simpler.
