request for enhancement: grub-md5-crypt

[James Carter]

grub-md5-crypt would be more useful if it could be used in scripts like
this:
        md5passwd=`grub-md5-crypt`
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "password --md5 $md5passwd" >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
        fi

this is not possible in grub-0.93 because the password prompts are
sent to standard out. sending them to standard error allows this.
