Hmm... ok. Changing grub-install (appended)?

I was guessing (without looking at the code) whether libreadline is used.
It looks like it isn't :) Ok, completion code is too intricate with
conditionals and spare newline outputs to fix it. And we've lost enough
time on this meaningless detail.
Isn't it worth trying to use libreadline (static ;) instead?
This mainly depends on my other question (other message), I think.
