[PATCH] grub-install: --config-file support...take 2

        Hi GRUB Hackers,

Even though my previous --config-file support to grub-install did the job, it was built against a "generated" grub-install, not against the template util/grub-install.in

This patch, against 0.93 (which is newer then the CVS version, by the way), also updates the default grub-install.8 man page to include this new option, since that man page is only regenerated when we're in maintainer mode.

        According to:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-07/msg00024.html

Okuji is off (at least for a while)...so who's the current maintainer of GNU GRUB?

        Please consider applying.

        Cheers,

Felipe
