Is it proprietary? I'm currently not using Windows, so I don't have a working grub2tc setup. But I'm happy to help, and it did work before.

All what I ever found out went into these files, so they are our only documentation now :)
What I remember was that the TC boot code expects the data blocks to be in one of two possible locations.

Yes, I'm happy to relicense it as GPL3 for the use in GRUB2.

I think I looked into this, but the code is slightly different and accesses data of the gap that will be overwritten by grub. Therefore I decided to use the cd image boot code.

I'd have to go and install TC and/or read the code. I'm pretty sure TC uses some signature internally, but I forget what it was.
