1. I have never yet found a way to tell grub to boot Win XP - it
always either reboots endlessly, or stops after complaining
that it can't find its boot loader.
2. It's much easier to install other distros if they have their
own boot partition to play in. SuSE, for instance, seems
to be unable to combine its own image with all the
existing ones, so I have to go grubbing around the disks
looking for images to make grub.conf entries.

No, I didn't fall into that trap. And you're right, the grub-static ebuild
says:
DEPEND="!sys-boot/grub"
