Then you'll probably agree to rediscuss this issue after all
platform-specific files are moved into their subdirectories. Should take
care of the most of issue nicely.
I think that addresses my personal issue, but maybe not for others
that want to put it in directory X not X/$platform. Would you be
amenable to an additional override flag? Like
--force-prefix=/real/path/to/modules_and_stuff?
prefix will be "X". Just on runtime it will add platform to it when
loading modules and .lst (but not locale, themes and grub.cfg)
Sorry -- prefix is the wrong term. It is interesting that you're going
beyond what I thought, though; I thought you were just going to do what
grub-mkrescue did by creating the platform subdirs and putting grub.cfg in
there that does platform-specific stuff then sources ../grub.cfg; I think
that was a good approach, since you ended up with the generic entries in the
../grub.cfg file and platform-specific goodness in the platform dirs.
