Why linux centric? Scripting is an universal thing. If you speak
about
for x in /boot/vmlinuz-*; [...]
it was just an example.
"Menu modules" are also general thing. Lilo-like menu was also an example
but it could also be used with other OS that linux (other loaders can
also check for additional commands).
About menu-entry syntax - I see nothing linux-centric
Or don't I understand something?
