  You do not put the header files into the variable
libdrivers_a_SOURCES.

  Do "automake -a".

  I'd like to do, but I wish you will fix several problems in there
before committing your patches to the CVS.

* The netboot support should be optional as well as the tftp
  support. The default should be --disable-netboot.
* The netboot support MUST be omitted in the grub shell. Otherwise,
  you should implement the glue code.
* The user should be able to choose what driver is included via the
  configure script.
* The directory grub/stage2/netboot should be moved into grub/netboot.
