Don't do that! That works only in the grub shell. Haven't I written
anything about this?

Read the file INSTALL. There's a new configure option. It is also
mentioned in the file NEWS.

Thanks for your patches. But I can't be convinced of all of
them. For example, why do you want to change the `dircategory'? GRUB
does nothing about disk management. There are more such things. Please
explain all the changes which are not trivial. If a change is just to
fix a typo, you don't have to explain it.
