I made this work in my shell script,
and though I think doing it properly would require some autotools
magic, I could add a quick-and-dirty target to a makefile to build
using gcj. Should I try to do this?

This patch adds support for multiple fallback entries in grub.cfg.
I'll prepare the ChangeLog entry when the patch is approved to be
committed.
The patch is against GRUB trunk revision 1964.

This patch adds bitmap scaling support to GRUB.
It also adds support to gfxterm for scaling the background image to fit
the screen. The background_image command supports a new -m/--mode
option, which takes "stretch" (the default) or "normal" as values.
The patch is against GRUB trunk revision 19
This patch improves the videotest command by adding a number of
different tests for particular features. The 'videotest text' test
tests the rendering of Unicode UTF-8 text, for instance, and the
'videotest bench' command runs a video performance benchmark. The
original videotest command is acces
