Actually, this part was really simple. A menu named $map.menubar.help is
automatically integrated into the system-wide Mac help menu. So we don't
need separate code for the Mac. We do need a real menu, though. Just adding
a command to the menubar doesn't work at all on the Mac. And in Windows,
the accelerator symbol is then printed on top of the command name ("?elp").
