This is our common "doom": I also work on something else at the moment,
even if there are several things I'd like to do with/for GRUB ;)

At the moment, everything seems to work OK for people who have tried it,
but I have been a bit disappointed to see that the courageous were only
10 or less... To have a major chance to get feedback the patch needs to
be integrated to the CVS. Could we have two branches, one stable and one
unstable?

BTW, _in theory_, everything working till now should work as well, but
this version adds new possibilities.
