This seems pretty sane to me from a quick look.  I agree that having the
flexibility to use some of the grub code is definitely an advantage as
there _is_ more support there than general libraries.  Make it so that
we can continue to use libraries where it makes sense (ext[23] if
nothing else) should avoid the concerns sct had as well.
