update-grub shell library

update-grub shell library

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

I'd like to add a shell library that can be used as a helper for update-grub
modules.

Currently, update-grub exports variables like GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT and
GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT_GRUB, which are a bit of a kludge.  I'd like to rewrite
these into a shell function that converts system paths to grub paths,
but then it can't just be exported into environment.

Can we add something like $(libdir)/grub/update-grub to put such kind of
helper code in?

I see no problem with this.
