* util/grub-install.in (convert): Check only if the file exists,
instead of checking if the file is a block device as well.
Because, in a sane operating system, it should be a char device
but not a block device (unlike Linux), and it may be a symbolic
link (this can happen if you use Linux's devfs without devfsd).
(recheck): New variable. Set to "no" by default, and set to
"yes", if you specify the new option ``--recheck''. If $recheck
is "yes", remove the device map file, if present.
