Thanks to the comments from different people in the thread, I send a new
version.

It does, on from my head:
a) Constants used in util/ and Grub are in a common header file.
b) Use 8 bytes magic file, instead of 7
c) Adds a new command "**" to revert to the default keyboard
d) Don't use popen and use fork + execlp + pipe
e) Change some names that I didn't like
f) Implements a new variable in /etc/grub/default

And some other small bugfixes.

Everything is tested but not f).

The solution of c) is temporary, but I think that good enough for this
stage. When this is in trunk/experimental (I think that can go to trunk
straight away since there isn't major changes, but I give it up to you)
I can implement some other solution.

What else I should change, or some other comment?

Thanks,
