Module version checking

[Ryan Cunningham]

To the list members:

I would like to propose a new feature for GRUB. This feature shall allow GRUB 
to make sure it is running only modules matching the version loading them, and 
shall allow other boot loaders to make sure they're not accidentally running 
GRUB's modules.

When a module is loaded that does not match the version loading it, GRUB shall 
give the user this error message:

"error: The module <module_path> that you attempted
"error: to load is not compatible with this version of GRUB."

and refuse to load that module.

When a GRUB module is loaded by another boot loader, that boot loader shall 
give the user an error message similar to this:

"error: The module <module_path> that you attempted
"error: to load is not compatible with this boot loader."

and again refuse to load that module.

Sincerely,

Ryan Cunningham
