My guess is that it's not very much lispcode that needs to be written,
just some basic code for inserting a certain string at the cursor. The
hard part is to write a good startingpoint for the stuff to insert,
unless
you do the easy thing and rip the windowsversion ;)

I'm actually uncertain if I would like an InsertMenu, but if you get 
something working I will take a look and see if I can add it too
povmode,
and possibly add configurationoptions for it, unless it's easier to use
a normal (lisp)file.
