Hi fargo,
I'm copy-pasting our recent conversation here. Please confirm to this issue so that i can apply for a CVS account as stated by http://drupal.org/node/59

Hi!
That sounds fine.

Perhaps you have noted, I don't have as much time to look after the
module as I should have.

So I would be glad, if you could combine our modules to one and proceed
maintaining it.

However I think, it shouldbe possible to use the menu_per_role feature
("restrict view access") only without getting a performance penality by
the unused features (administer menu, items, available parents). Do you
think you could get this working?
Hm, we could also add settings to the module, which allows turning some
functionality off.

If you can describe your planned approach to removing the patch I want to look into this as well and can do so now.
