Thanks chaps, it's a no-no then. I will just move the strings out of the
structure, or make them fixed size, by setting a limit to the number of
items/options I can have in a menu. Since everything is in ROM it's not
gonna waste any RAM, and I can adjust the limit so as to waste as little
ROM as possible, plus, I am not gonna waste that much space since there
aren't going to be many options in the menus anyway, 5 or so per menu I
guess. If I end up having too many entries in a given menu, it means I
probably can/should break it up into smaller sub-menus anyway.
So maybe setting a fixed size in this case isn't as stupid/inelegant as
I first thought...
I sure will waste a few bytes, but only a few, and since I completely
got rid of printf, I now have lots of space at my disposal ! :-)

Hopefully this will all be working today then, and I can move on to the
next problem, stay tuned ! ;-P
