All you actually need to do is make the changes to the menus and copy the
correct folder to the target machine. The client could easily replace your
custom menus with standard menus if he had any idea at all what he was
dealing with....

Of course the real solution would be more complex than a few menu changes,
but you missed one final thing - the client would still need to own the
correct number of DreamWeaver licenses. Not sure how many companies would be
happy buying full copies of software and allowing somebody to hobble that
software for them....
