First of all, thank you for the great contribution! I guess I really must finish writing up the specification now... About the headers, I don't like the location, either. As I said before, the purpose of GRUB is not to provide a library. Even if code can be reused, this is out of our concern. And, more importantly, the reason why the header files are put under grub/ is to avoid conflicts with system headers. Although the probablity of having such a conflict on multiboot.h, I still prefer to segregate our own headers under grub.
