The shell function make_system_path_relative_to_its_root() does not work
on Cygwin due to path mapping (e.g. /boot/grub/ is actually
/cygwin/boot/grub).
This patch adds '-t prefix' to grub-probe. It prints result from
grub_get_prefix() which is already extended for Cygwin (svn rev 1584).
The result is used in make_system_path_relative_to_its_root(). This
keeps the platform dependent code in getroot.c.

* util/grub-probe.c (enum): Add PRINT PREFIX.
(probe): Add PRINT_PREFIX, prints result of
grub_get_prefix ().
(usage): Add `prefix' to `-t' usage text.
Add some '\n' to avoid excess long lines.
(main): Add check for `-t prefix' option.
* util/update-grub_lib.in (make_system_path_relative_to_its_root):
Use result of `grub-probe -t prefix' instead of
checking device numbers of parent directories.
The latter does not work on Cygwin.

This is different than the usual grub-probe usage in that it doesn't operate
on a device. Perhaps it would make sense to add the functionality you want in
a separate utility?
I have an increasing feeling that grub-probe is becoming bloated (though I
admit, this is mostly my fault)

OK, probably /usr/bin/grub-prefix ?
Drawback: getroot.c contains also grub_guess_root_device() etc, so a
grub-prefix program would require most of the objects grub-probe requires.
Put grub_get_prefix() in a new util/getprefix.c ?
Or handle those platform dependencies in update-grub_lib.in itself. Can
be done by a conditional call to 'cygpath' utility. This conditional
must then be removed for the other platforms when generating
update-grub_lib.

Any comment on this?
The pe2elf converter and related patches from Bean, and my remaining
patches for Cygwin were committed today.
This 'prefix' fix is the last patch which is necessary of out of the box
Cygwin support in the next release, otherwise grub-install would not work.

Here is a version with works without grub-probe.

Committed, grub-probe not affected.
Now Cygwin support should be complete.
