Hey Thierry, as there is still a week left this month, I figured you
might be a little bored.  Anyway, if you are still looking for something
to do, it would be nice to have a function in grub to print out a block
list when given a partition.  Which is to say, the starting block, the
length and the end.

For instance:

	(grub) blocklist (hd0,3)
	3906945+1953441
	(grub)

This would permit us to remove the partitioning table detection code
from ext2fs.static for things such as boot floppies, etc.

Cheers.
