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.

* An attribute `stdenv_32bit' that returns a stdenv capable of
  building 32-bit binaries.
* grub: build on x86_64-linux.

8245a813fe * Latest Gentoo patches for Grub. Includes a fix for booting from
ext3 filesystems with 256-byte inodes (created by mke2fs >= 1.40.5

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.
