Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] The empty "Tools" menu toplevel item must be removed before

From: Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

An alternative to keeping it hidden would be to add a default menu item
with the text "Why is this menu empty?", or "How to add items to this
menu", which takes the user to a help page describing how to add items.
