   Is there a way to "promote" the new menu interface to the top-level admin links? I would like my authors to be able to manage menus within their sites (I am using WordPress more as a CMS in this case), but not other appearance items like themes, header, etc.

   I think I can do this with add_menu_page, but how do I connect this to the existing functionality?

   Figured it out:

   function add_nav_menu() {
   	if (!current_user_can('update_core')) {
   		$page_title = "Manage Your Navigation Menu";
   		$menu_title = "Menu";
   		$capability = "edit_posts";
   		$menu_slug = "nav-menus.php";
   		$icon_url = plugins_url('menu.png');
   
   		add_menu_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function, $icon_url, $position );
   	}
   }
   // Add capability to the editor role
   
   	// store the 'Editor' role
   	$edit_editor = get_role('editor');
   
   	// add a capability of 'upload_files';
   	$edit_editor->add_cap('edit_themes');
   	$edit_editor->add_cap('edit_theme_options');

   To be clear, the above should go in your theme's functions.php file or be part of a plugin.
