Remove @dirrm entries from PLISTs

Convert to use PLIST_VARS instead of manually passing "@comment "
through PLIST_SUBST to the plist module.

List info files directly in the PLIST and honor PKG{INFO,MAN}DIR.

Update to 0.96:
New in 0.96 - 2005-01-30:
* The command "fallback" supports mutiple fallback entries.
* The command "savedefault" supports an optional argument which
  is the number of next boot entry or the special keyword `fallback'.
* New utility "grub-set-default".
* New section "Making your system robust" in the manual.

Fix PLIST for Linux by adding LOWER_VENDOR (which is empty for NetBSD).
Patch provided by pancake in PR pkg/26517

Update sysutils/grub to 0.95, and remove obsoleted options
GRUB_USE_UFS2/GRUB_USE_ISO9660, they are not longer needed.

New in 0.95 - 2004-06-13:

* Add support for ReiserFS 3.
* Fix support for FreeBSD 5.
* Support ATARAID for Linux in the grub shell and grub-install.
* Add CDROM support for El Torito with no emulation mode. You can use
  (cd) as a CDROM drive in the config file.
* Option --no-mem-option is implied for Linux 2.4.18 and newer.
* Add support for UFS2.

Add support for UFS2 from FreeBSD. Patch provided by FUKAUMI Naoki
in PR pkg/25434.

Apply an optional patch for eltorito support, so you can boot grub
via a cdrom. It can be enabled with the option "GRUB_ISO9660" and
is disabled by default.

Remove info files entries from PLIST.
Add missing info file in INFO_FILES.

Fix grub-install problem reported in PR 22049 by Soren Jacobsen.
While here, convert to USE_NEW_TEXINFO, and make it compile.
[freestanding, but using nested functions; gcc emits __enable_exec_stack,
which lives in libgcc, but is not linked because the program is supposed
to be freestanding. Provide dummy __enable_exec_stack function.]
Bump PKGREVISION.

Update grub to 0.93.  Changes in this version:

* Define the behavior of the boot loader when the load end address is
  zero and the bss end address is zero in the Multiboot Specification.
  Also, add the support into GRUB.
* Finally, we have a Bug Tracking System! Now the preferable way to
  report bugs is to use the BTS rather than sending e-mail to bug-grub.
  See <http://bugcomm.enbug.org/?project=grub&mode=project>, for more
  details.
* The appendix "FAQ" in the manual is removed. See the GNU GRUB FAQ on
  the web <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.html> instead.
* The terminal handling code is rewritten radically, and many bugfixes
  are made at the same time.
* The command "color" is effective even in the command-line.
* The command "terminal" takes two new options, ``--no-echo'' and
  ``--no-edit''. If you specify ``--no-echo'', GRUB won't echo back
  input characters. If you specify ``--no-edit'', GRUB will disable the
  BASH-like editing feature. These options are useful when using an
  intelligent terminal (such as the comint mode in GNU Emacs).
* The utility ``grub-md5-crypt'' prompts to retype a password and checks
  if the passwords match.
* Support for booting Linux is rewritten, so GRUB now supports
  large-EBDA systems.
* The menu interfaces supports Page Up, Page Down, and Right Key.
* New command "terminfo", for vt100-incompatible terminals.
* New options, ``-D'', ``-g'' and ``-m'' are supported for FreeBSD.

Merge packages from the buildlink2 branch back into the main trunk that
have been converted to USE_BUILDLINK2.

Merge changes in the main trunk into the buildlink2 branch for those
packages that have been converted to USE_BUILDLINK2.

Install "README.netboot" if networking boot support is enabled.

Add optional netboot support to "grub" package as suggested by
Julio Merino in PR pkg/17354.

Import new package grub. Submitted by jgoerzen@complete.org in
pkg/15065. I updated it to 0.91 and removed patch-aa which
the submitter already sent to the grub people.

GRUB is the GRand Unified Bootloader.  Briefly, bootloader is the first
software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for
loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software
(such as NetBSD orLinux).  GRUB understands ffs, FAT{16,32}, ext2fs,
ReiserFS, minixfs, and VSTafs.  It can directly boot NetBSD, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD and Linux without any other bootloader, loading a.out and ELF
kernels from the disk and passing along necessary arguments (in most cases). 
It can also boot any operating system (the above, plus eg Windows, OS/2) by
chaining to that operating system's specific loader.  Grub features a
runtime command line and loads its configuration at boot rather than
requiring rerunning of a separate utility.  Other features are TFTP booting,
serial console support, large disk support, support for both DOS MBR label
and BSD disklabel simultaneously, booting from hard drive or floppy.

GRUB is available for the i386 architecture only.
