Sorry, this would require a patch to GUB.  If you are not already
familiar with the system, it would take 10-20 hours to learn
enough about how it works to create such a patch.

At the moment, there seems to be a strong desire to get 2.14 out,
so I will not offer to create the patch myself (I estimate it
would be a 30-minute task for me); I will spend that time on
release-oriented tasks instead.  If this is still an open request
after 2.14 is released, I might look at it then, but I make no
guarantees.

I cannot think of any reason why such a script should require root
permission.

Sorry for the bad news,
