grub-md5-crypt would be more useful if it could be used in scripts like
this:
md5passwd=`grub-md5-crypt`
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "password --md5 $md5passwd" >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
fi
this is not possible in grub-0.93 because the password prompts are
sent to standard out. sending them to standard error allows this.
