SUSE uses a couple of patches for GRUB legacy that allow all kinds of
fancy stuff, like implementing a graphical help system, adding boot
options and showing animations. I remember their implementation had a
couple of drawbacks, because it had to run in syslinux, too, for easier
maintenance. But something along that line would sure suit grub2 very
well.
