Some suggestions for Grub 0.92

[David GUYON MARTIN]

TODO list: Some suggestions for Grub 0.92:

A minimal MORE command, as CAT display text files in one rush,
the beginning of useful config files disappears at the top of the screen.

Restore what was working in Grub 0.5.95:
 load a custom message with i18n command
 set azerty keyboard with keytable command

A direct fail over, without waiting the user to acknowledge error:
 The failover already gives us this amazing feature: when you have some 
secondary drives on mobile rack with OS installed, just plug and boot, let grub 
try to load a menu.lst on the secondary drive and display the new OS plugged !!!
 When there is no rack or no extra menu.lst, let it fail over on conventional 
menu.lst and display OS installed as usual.
 Annoyingly the user have to press a key to clear the error in the latter case.

A command to deactivate El Torito emulation, when you boot on a CD based on a 
bootable Grub floppy. It’s an Int13 call, there is very few code but I 
can’t deal with it. However I can help.

Extend hiddenmenu to hiddenentry: allow Grub to display a short menu, press Esc 
to display full menu with hidden entries. Nice with lock command.

As partnew create partition, let partdrop destroy it. Some boot managers thus 
allow more than 4 primary partitions. Grub will with this partdrop command. 
Security check may be needed.

Feedback welcome, do you use Grub as I do?
