This adds pygrub, an implementation of a bootloader for domU.  It reads
from the guest filesystem (using libext2fs) and provides a grub-like
interface for selecting the kernel/initrd/kernel args for booting your
domU.

TODO list off the top of my head:
* Support filesystems other than ext[23]
* Support whole disk images and not just a partition image
* Implement command line editing/append mode
* Possibly the full command line stuff
* Password support
* Other missing important bits?

Even with that, it's still quite functional.
