I mean that it is a fork because it is not official grub legacy however 
I don't consider as a fork to be continued after the stable release of 
grub2.

You've never heard of it? Wouldn't you have an account on Slashdot and 
would like to talk about it in your blog or send something to main page?

Reasons why I finally finished "forking" Grub:

* When there was an error on lsts Grub led me to an error 25 which 
blocked Grub running. I had to fix it.
* I wanted to change the title on grub so I make the gtitle command.
* I needed an stable support of variables so I applied a patch for 
variables support on grub legacy from Adam L...
* I needed to have an equivalent command to source command so I hacked 
grub again and again till I've managed to make the call and back commands.
* My CD tool had to be useful for normal and newbie people so I couldn't 
wait to grub2 to be everywhere.

You and all the people who tells me something like it are right.

But I am lazy and I'm scared about how difficult can be to set up an cvs 
system.

However I will try to deleted the *.orig, reject and backup files.

P.S.: I tried once to submit the project to Savannah and I will try it 
in a future. I had some problems with copyrights and licenses not being 
in every piece of source code. My "checker" was Sebastian Wiesler. I 
don't know if you know him (I've seen your email is gnu.org ;) )
