to support having reading the boot loader config when you're using a
whole disk (eg, file:/root/disk.img,xvda,w) as opposed to just a
partition.
This reads the partition table in the MBR to find the active partition
and then passes that offset down into the filesystem reading code.

- pygrub/README provides information on packages needed to compile pygrub
- support reiserfs {2,3} filesystem
- dynamically build modules based on which filesystem libraries the
system has (proposed by Jeremy)
- pump up pygrub to version 0.2

Apply Nguyen's patch:
- extend filesystem abstraction by adding file_exist() method. this
method is used to check for existent of a file given its name. now
ext2fs implements this method.
- pygrub opens and parses /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf,
in that order.
- add /usr/lib/python to system path (see pygrub). without this
change, pygrub cannot find grub python package.
- remove few blank lines
