Hmm... If you add a menu, you should be able to specify either
"forward-search dvi" or "forward-search pdf", otherwise, without any
argument, forward seach is only possible with dvi. So, I think that
both \forward_search_dvi and \forward_search_pdf are needed and a menu
should allow to select one or the other (maybe hiding a choice if the
corresponding command is not defined).

Jean-Marc fixed it, so this is not necessary anymore.
