I just did, I'm able to detect extlinux, handle the default entry, add a 
label + kernel.
I'm stick with the APPEND line. I don't manage how to add the initrd= 
inside the APPEND command.

I must assume that managing the parsing of many bootloaders in C with a 
hudge set of "if/else" is not very easy to understand/maintain.
There is a lot of case & conditions. This is not trivial to add a new 
bootloader that doesn't match other bootloaders. I can even say that 
match grub because it really looks like grub is the first implemention 
and others are patches...

I'm still investigating how to continue with APPEND & INITRD.

Does grubby is so necessary to help extlinux beeing known ?
