240801542a Restoring grub 1.98 from svn, and adding it as a package apart. This allows
easy using package overrides in nixos to use grub 1.98.

I found 1.98 can boot from /dev/md* devices, while 1.99rc1 cannot due to some
upstream problem. Once it works, we can remove this 1.98 again.

37f6612875 * Disable GRUB 2's `make check' by default, because it requires QEMU.
It's not so desirable to have GRUB 2 depend on X11, Mesa, SDL,
  PulseAudio, ... (I became very confused when changing Mesa triggered
  a rebuild of GRUB.)

shell.  KDE uses this to allow rebooting into a non-default

b510addf20 Enabling by default the grub support for buggy BIOSes on CD boot.
Two of two, raskin and me, voted for this change.

3a8a3c91f7 Adding a patch for grub, so livecds with grub can still boot with buggy bioses,
as those of Acer 292LMi or Airis N990. This allows booting the NixOS ISO releases.
I made it optional, not included by default. I don't think it would harm at all enabling
it always - let it be decided on forum.

a0159dee8e * Reverted r6713, r6711, r4623, r3660, r2237. There rewrote fetchurl
URLs to http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs.  With content-addressable
  mirror support (r9190, NIXPKGS-70) this is no longer necessary:
  fetchurl will try to download from that location automatically.  So
  we can keep the original URLs.

1c4dd40460 * Grub requires a 32-bit Glibc. So use the i686-linux Grub on
x86_64.  (This fails to build unless Nix knows an i686-linux machine
  or it can get the Grub binary from a channel.)  Very nasty.
