I assume it's up-to-date; the last commit was made in late September of last
year. While lscpu reads from /proc/cpuinfo and lists _all_ reported flags,
`cpuid2cpuflags` only regards ones which are applicable to the CPU_FLAGS
variable in Gentoo, so its no surprise that less flags are shown by the latter.

Don't worry, I understood you well. Aside from your marvellous usage of
ellipses ("..."), your communication in English is fine :)

`grub` is capable of showing entries from multiple partition tables/block
devices, if that's what you mean ? Just emerge sys-boot/grub with the `mount`
USE flag.

Yeah, I know what you mean there. Solid-state is the way things are going, but I
always keep backups/mirrors on hard disk and tape drives (but the latter is only
feasible for huge volumes of data).

I'll have a more detailed look upon your question tomorrow when I'm not quite as
tired, but what you're trying to do is certainly reasonable, and shouldn't be a
huge amount of work.

Thanks for an interesting problem :)
