I found grubby very hard to patch for having a proper parsing of config 
files. I'm currently making some tests by making an implementation of 
grubby using libconf (http://libconf.net).

This project's aim is to allow people to parse, read and write config 
file using a high level API. Thx to damien (its author), I'm now able to 
play with the lilo.conf file, grub while come quickly and extlinux then. 
I've made my tests using perl but  using 
http://conf2xml.sourceforge.net/ (a project linked to libconf), the 
binding with other languages is possible.

I think this approach it will be more simple to handle complicated 
schemes & options and more bootloaders.

I hope beeing able to show a runnable project quickly.
