Bug#549444: grub-pc: menuentry in if clause causes syntax error

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal

Here is a simple illustration of the problem from the grub shell:

sh:grub> if true ; then
sh:> menuentry foo {
syntax error
Incorrect command
syntax error
sh:grub>

I can't see any reason why one shouldn't be able to put a menuentry in
a if clause, so I assume this is a bug.  It would be very good if this
worked, as it would greatly fascilitate building of on-the-fly
menuentries.

Thanks.

jamie.
