I have managed to completely boot-activation.  Still using the same
patch for hurd-directives, but I've got a feeling we're getting real
close now.

This adds besides 'multiboot-kernel' and 'multiboot-modules' now also
'multiboot-arguments' to <menu-entry>.  The temptation to rename 'linux'
and 'linux-arguments' to 'kernel' and 'kernel-arguments' increases, but
I didn't!

I'm planning to reset wip-hurd-vm again as soon as my tests pass; there
was another grub patch on master.

Greetings,
Janneke
