Boot loader refactoring
...
- Renamed system.build.menuBuilder to system.build.installBootLoader.
- ‘install-grub.pl’ (formerly grub-menu-builder.pl) now generates the
GRUB menu *and* installs GRUB (if necessary).
- ‘switch-to-configuration.sh’ has no boot loader specific knowledge
anymore. It just calls installBootLoader.

Replace grub-menu-builder with a much faster version
...
The old GRUB menu builder script is quite slow, typically taking
several seconds. This is a real annoyance since it's run every time
you switch to a new configuration. Therefore this patch replaces the
Bash script with a much faster Perl script. In a VirtualBox test, the
execution time went from 2.7s to 0.1s. The Perl version is also more
correct because it uses XML to get the GRUB configuration (through
builtins.toXML), so there are no shell escaping issues.
The new script currently lacks support for subconfigurations defined
through "nesting.children".

initrd: Detect filesystem type before doing fsck/mount
...
BusyBox doesn't handle the "auto" filesystem type very well: fsck will
just ignore such filesystems, and mount will only work properly if the
required kernel module is already loaded. Therefore, use blkid to
determine the filesystem type.
Also generate an /etc/fstab in the initrd rootfs on the fly. This is
useful if you're dropped into an emergency shell since it allows you
to say "fsck /dev/sda1" or "mount /dev/sda" and have the right thing
happen.

Fix booting from the CD-ROM
...
So it turns out that BusyBox doesn't auto-load modules for filesystems
that have type "auto", e.g. it doesn't figure out that it should load
the "iso9660" module should be loaded when mounting the CD-ROM. We
don't want to give the root FS on the CD type "iso9660", because that
breaks booting from a USB stick created by unetbootin. So make sure
the "iso9660" module is loaded.
