Here this auto thingy found Linux installs that are deleted since years,
perhaps there still is some old menu.conf somewhere and it does read
this. However, I did install grub2 separated from used Linux installs,
so it won't run. Sometimes one update can cause to run this thingy
several times, this is time consuming, even if it would add sane entries
without unneeded code. My grub.cfg is very small, without all that
useless additional code.
