I forgot to mention, you can get the error message from the global
grub_errmsg after running grub.run(), but returning it would be a much
cleaner interface IMHO. It should be easy to also return the error
message but I am going to be very busy with other things until
February so I probably won't be able to work on it myself any time
soon.
