Hi,

This is the same patch as I sent before, but this time split into 7
diffs (which must be successively applied in order) and with a cleaner
changelog.  I hope that this will facilitate the review.

This version does not include the --root-directory addition to
grub-mkconfig, as this is quite orthognal to the goal of the patch (file
name transformation).

I welcome your comments,

Grégoire

--- mostly taken from my previous message ------------------------------

The attached patch fixes problems with file name transformations, which
are partly broken in trunk.  With this patch, several installations of
grub can coexist with no conflict (at least they should), sharing
however the same configuration directory (etc/grub.d).

For instance:

./configure --program-transform-name=s,grub,aaa,

will install bin/aaa-*, sbin/aaa-*, etc. The default grub directory will
be /boot/aaa, modules will be installed there and grub-mkconfig will
look for them there.

The main changes in the patch are:

- configure defines three new variables, accounting for transformations:
  . pkgdatadir       (${datadir}/grub)
  . pkglibrootdir    (${libdir}/grub)
  . defaultbootdir   (/boot/grub, or /grub if OS is NetBSD or OpenBSD)

- these variables are used in Makefile and in util/... scripts

- output of --help and of --version in scripts uses `basename $0` and
  the same format as the one in binaries.

- in Makefile, the help2man, .info, and .mo rules also account for
  file name transformations.

- grub-mkconfig exports GRUB_DIR, which is used by grub-mkconfig_lib
  and by 00_header.
