I wanted to try this solution.
Advantage: no need of generating autocmd.lst, and editing this file by
user, when he adds his own module to distro-precompiled grub.
Disadvantage: current solution slowly reads the contens of directory.
This is probably caused by opening files by /full/ path, where we
principially have opened directory (and resolved path to it.).
Not so disadvanyage because:
1.) this solution caches the contents of directory in $prefix. So it is
slow only when inserting autocmd or after $prefix is changed. (or user
executed cache_autocommands - now i think the caching at insert of module
is misfeature. User can use cache_autocommands manually).
2.) Latency was under bochs on slow (P300) machine.
You can always turn it off by not inserting module autocmd.
