The scripts in /etc/grub.d *are* config files. There's no reason you
can't edit them to suit your needs.
I agree that my solution does seem rather overengineered.

This makes it possible to use relative paths in the "file" component of
gfxmenu images. I've tested that it works, but I'd appreciate if someone

squash marginally related requirements together.
- Whether flag is ignorable or not is a part of specification and
