Sorry for this huuuuuuuuuge delay, but I have this patch for this.  It
includes a test case, even though I have been suffering a lot until I
noticed that OCR was returning garbage and I was trying to be too
specific, so I've left it as basic as I could.

I add Mathieu to the loop to bring more eyes over it, I'm open to any
suggestion. :-)

Happy hacking!
Miguel

PS: It should apply on top of master too, but I tested it on top of some
other grub.cfg fixes, I'll send a new version if there is any problem
with this.
