Well, I can do that.  It will force some changes to be made in the
kernel (kern/env.c).

I will implement it as follows:

- configfile will execute a script and create a new
  context.
- source/. will execute a script in the current context.

I wonder if we want to have local variables for functions.  With
`local' you can create these in bash.  It will be possible to have
this in GRUB, but will make the implementation bigger and add some
exceptions.
