Features Menu UUID

This module provides an alternative system for exporting menu items using the Features module that aims to be more reliable than alternative option.

The module was based on Entity Menu Links, boiled down to the barebones menu_links functionality - no Entity API integration, no revisions, no Services integration; then the Features module's features.menu.inc file was copied & reworked to suit.

Limitations

This module is designed to only work with menu items manually added through the menu interface, it is not designed for handling menu items created by other modules. The reason for this is, simply, that the other module might want to change the menu items.

For example, a menu item created by Views is managed by the Views module. You could then also export them using this module. If you change it in the Views interface and revert the feature the uuid menu items are exported in, it would overwrite the changes from Views. You then recreate the changes in views and the feature shows as overwritten. On and on.

Menu items that are dynamically created & modified based upon _content_, like Taxonomy Menu, get even more complicated. A content editor might change the taxonomy terms around - add some, merge some using Taxonomy Merge and Taxonomy Manager, adjust a hierarchy, etc; all of these would cause complications were the menu items being managed by this module.
