I think it would be useful to have an archive of the different syntaxes
which we need to support. We should encourage folks who are fixing
pygrub to work on a particular distro to also submit an example of a
standardish configuration file as a patch to e.g.
tools/pygrub/examples/<distro>.grub (or .grub2 if that's appropriate).
IOW please include an example f16 config in your series ;-)
If someone is feeling ultra keen they could even write a little
regression tester framework to iterate over the examples and ensure they
produce something sane...
