True.

Adding support for grub2 is trivial as we've the grub.cfg
already in-place available.

What's missing is providing the resulting torito.img out of:

  grub-mkimage --format=i386-pc -o core.img biosdisk iso9660
  cat /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/cdboot.img core.img > torito.img

through the grml-live templates and invoke mkisofs with torito.img
instead of stage*/isoslinux.bin then.

We might want to consider updating the grub.cfg though, as it
doesn't match our isolinux version nowadays, any
ideas/patches/feedback/... welcome.
