New package: grub 1.96-1 -- GRand Unified Bootloader 2 [experimental]

[Christian Franke]

GRUB2 is now part of the cygwin distribution.

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html

GRUB2 is a portable powerful bootloader. This new version of GRUB
is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors.

The package contains an experimental version of GRUB2. It is based
on a recent snapshot from upstream CVS. I have added some fixes
which allow to build and run the GRUB2 support tools on Cygwin, and
also allow to build the native bootloader binaries on Cygwin.

Package contents:

etc/grub.d/*             (Scripts called by update-grub)
usr/bin/grub-fstest.exe  (Test filesystem driver on device or image)
usr/bin/grub-mkimage.exe (Make boot image, used by grub-install/mkrescue)
