Here is a simple utility to display a block list based on the knowledge of 
Linux's but not of GRUB's. I wrote this to aid the debugging of a filesystem. 
The output format is similar to GRUB's block list, but not completely 
identical (because GRUB always treats sectors instead of filesystem blocks). 
If you think this is useful, I can put this code into GRUB.

Perhaps we can turn it into a test program for automated testing?

I'd appreciate if you can do it. It would be significantly useful to have 
regression tests, in particular for filesystems.

I completely agree.  Perhaps I even created a task for this already?
But I can not make any promise for the short term.  My todo list is
huge already.
