I understand that other games usually have a complex options menu with
a bunch of options to configure, but in the case of Dink (a simple
fixed-scale 2D game) I think it is not needed.

The current menu allows to remap the existing hard-coded keys, but not
to use other keys.  Note that any other key may be assigned by a
D-Mod, so if you remapped the keys this could conflict.

I plan to keep the menu as-is if you think there's a need for another
one, feel free to submit a patch :)
