Things that must or should be done before 1.0:
* Finish the Multiboot Speicification 0.7. !!!
* Add more --disable-FOO options to configure, so that you can create a
minimum GRUB image. This is useful for boot floppies because of the size
restriction. !
* Implement a new version of track_int13, using Virtual 8086 Mode. !!!
* Add missing features of graphics support. !!
Things that must _not_ be done before 1.0:
* Add configuration inclusion support by adding a command "include". !
* Add automatic configuration support.
* Add bunzip2 support.
* Define the module system.
* Add BSD syntax support, using results of ioprobe to map drives. !

* Add a real scripting language, possibly retaining backward
compatibility so that old config files can be used.
* Add internationalization support, emulating gettext as much as is
feasible.
* Support other architectures than i386-pc.
* Add real memory management.
Things that may be done anytime:
* Port the script ``grub-install'' to FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. At
least you will have to modify the function `convert' so that it can
translate a native device name into the corresponding GRUB drive
representation. !
* Add configuration inclusion support by adding a command "include". !
* Add a command to run a GRUB script file. !!
* Finish the Multiboot Speicification 0.7. !!!
* Add commands to manipulate the menu from the command-line interface. !

Nope. Improving the `find' command would solve this problem.

compatibility so that old config files can be used.
* Add internationalization support, emulating gettext as much as is
feasible.
* Add CDROM-chainloading support. It would be enough to support only
BIOSes which have bootable-CDROM support (so you may use the "Bootable
CDROM" BIOS calls). It is not trivial to support BIOSes without the
