Running NSStatusItems At Startup

I am part of a team writing a network driver. One of our requirements is to
have a NSStatusItem (not unlike the Airport Menu Extra). I have been able to
create the NSStatusItem and get it fully functioning, but I haven't yet been
able to get the Status Item to startup at login with all the Apple
NSMenuExtra's. I've search high and low, looked at sample code, read the
apple documentation on NSStatusItems and NSMenuExtras, and looked at the Aqua
guidelines. I've found only one program that does this and that is Unsanity's
Menu Extra Enabler. It appears that they somehow hacked into Apples private
API to do this. I need a reliable solution that will consistently load my
Status Item during login (and won't change when Apple decides to change their
API).

Thanks,

John D. Farmer
