The problem with this one is that order is meaningful.  How do you
decide which one comes first with a random collection of files?  I
suppose you could use a system of symlinks or something (but then GRUB
can't live on a non-Unix FS), but it is getting complicated for
something that (hopefully) doesn't change much.
