Yes and we were also discussing adding this to GNU/Linux but it has not happened yet. A problem is of course that Emacs uses the Alt key by default as Emacs META key. (I have a patch for this for w32 as I have said before many times). There are some bugs in menuacc.el (it depends on tmm), but it works reasonably well. I have postponed further development on it until it is included in Emacs.
