Sorry, I didn't search update-grub_lib.in :-\

Apparently both grub_get_prefix() and 
make_system_path_relative_to_its_root() use the same algorithm. Both do 
not work on Cygwin due to special (multi- to single-root) mount point 
handling.

It is desirable to have only one implementation for this non-trivial 
function. A native C implementation is needed for grub-setup, therefore 
"grub-probe -t prefix" makes sense for scripts.

Yes.
