I started to work on a batch menu actions module, with GUI (that's all that really exists at the moment), that will allow for batch creation (as well as associated nodes optionally) and deletion of menu items.
Screenshots here:

Batch delete (the basic idea started): http://headsoftware.us/devel/batchmenu_delete.JPG
(No core hacking; it is strictly custom module code)
see what you think.
For one of my projects I will be adding quite a few menu items and this sort of thing could save me quite a bit of time over the long fun with this and other projects.

Great Idea
This is the module I would create if I was going to create a module! I find updating the menus in Drupal to be amazingly tedious, tho I realize v. 6 has improved things with the nice drag and drop interface. But batch updates are always so satisfying when you've had to do them one at a time with any volume to speak of.
I'm not using version 6 for any real apps as yet but will eventually. Maybe your module will be finished by then... if so I'd love to give it a try.
Nice going, hope it goes well.
