This small patch allows '\n' in option help texts, for example:
static const struct grub_arg_option options[] = {
{"very-complex", 'c', 0,
"sorry, but this very complex option requires more\n"
"than one line to explain properly.", 0, 0},
...
};
grub> complex -h
...
-c, --very-complex sorry, but this very complex option requires more
. than one line to explain properly.
I need it for a new module :-)
