I use DATA because it is the only way to get grub to install a
``miscellaneous file''. It doesn't violate anything (except maybe
elegance) to force it to install into libdir.

I thought that somewhere in libdir was the right place to put GRUB's
files, according to the GNU standards:
`libdir'
The directory for object files and libraries of object code.
GRUB's data files fit this description, to my reading.
I may end up putting them in datadir, once the architecture is wired
into the filename (something like $(datadir)/grub/i386). Does that
sound like a good idea?

Okay, I've fixed this.

Oops... I forgot about this. I wrote a patch and submitted it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] a little while ago. It's attached (note: you may
need to delete your autoconf.m4f to activate the change if you apply
this directly to /usr/share/autoconf/acgeneral.m4).
