Hmm... In my opinion, Makefiles in software should devote themselves
to how to build and install the software.
I don't think your idea is bad, but I'd like to implement such a
utility in a different program, which is the frontend of the grub
shell.
BTW I'm using this shell script to reduce the time to type keys:
#!/bin/sh
mount /floppy
cp stage1/stage1 stage2/stage2 stage2/*stage1_5 /floppy/boot/grub
umount /floppy
grub/grub --batch <EOF
root= (fd0)
install= /boot/grub/stage1 (fd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p
EOF
This is more useful than just "dd stage1 stage2 >/dev/fd0", since this
creates a bootable GRUB floppy with the menu interface.

Thanks!
