Details:
Various scripts in util/grub.d use `\t' in sed commands to indent
menu entries.
However, on some systems, sed does not recognize `\t', and the
resulting grub.cfg contains lines starting with 't' instead of
tabulations.
The problem occurs on NetBSD, but I guess that other BSDs are affected (as
well as OS X?).
To illustrate the problem in detail:
On Debian GNU/Linux:
$ sed --version
GNU sed version 4.2.1
[...]
$ echo "hello" | sed -e "s/^/\t/"
hello
On NetBSD 6.99.3
$ echo "hello" | sed -e "s/^/\t/"
thello
A simple fix is to replace those `\t' by tabulation characters.
