EDE 2.x (built with FLTK 1.x) has tooltip support inside menus, but I
had to "fork" Fl_Menu_Item to add support for it, mainly because
Fl_Menu_Item is hard to extend.

See MenuTooltip.h [1] and how is called in MenuItem.cpp
(Fl_Menu_Item.cpp fork) [2][3]. It is very easy and unobtrusive to add it
inside the existing Fl_Menu_Item.cpp code, so the current FLTK
maintainers might consider the same (or a similar) approach.
