    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Users of grub-mkrescue can specify a directory to build a rescue cd from with
-d.

If no -d is selected a rescue CD will be made with all the platforms a user
has installed.

However currently if -d is specified more than once only the last -d parameter
will be used when building the CD.

This is undesirable, for example if a user has built multiple versions of
grub2 (e.g. one for EFI and one for x86) and has the modules in non-standard
locations, grub-mkrescue should still function properly.


Attached is a patch which rectifies this behavior.
