    _______________________________________________________

Details:

during configuration it is apparently not possible to

specify where helper executables (stage1, stage2, etc)

should go, except crudely using PREFIX.  They then go

into PREFIX/lib/grub/i386-pc.



It seems to me, either this should be documented, or

configure should allow me to specify that the files

should be installed under, for example, /boot/grub,

which is hard-coded into grub in some places.
