question about ediff menus

What is the right way for a package to install its items in a menu in XEmacs?

Ediff does it by loading ediff-hooks -- at least this is how it used to be.
That code in ediff-hooks.el predates the switch to the package system.
At that time the tools menu had an item "OO Browser", and ediff-hooks
requests to install its menus after that item. But now "OO Browser" may not
be installed (I do not know if it still exists), so I am not sure what
something like

	(add-submenu
	  '("Tools") ediff-menu "OO-Browser...")

does nowadays.

In GNU Emacs this code is not used, since ediff-hook.el is dumped with
emacs. I am wondering if it is needed in XEmacs.
