GRUB2 is now part of the cygwin distribution. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html
GRUB2 is a portable powerful bootloader. This new version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors. The package contains an experimental version of GRUB2. It is based on a recent snapshot from upstream CVS. I have added some fixes which allow to build and run the GRUB2 support tools on Cygwin, and also allow to build the native bootloader binaries on Cygwin.
