I suggest that you run all new code through GNU indent.  Spacing in
"32-(n)" will probably need to be fixed manually, as it's a preprocessor
directive.

Commented out call to to _gcry_burn_stack() should probably be removed.
I would prefer that we don't use #undef.  Instead, the preprocessor
defines should use unique names that never need to be redefined.
This part is temporary copied here till Michael Gorven's patch is merged.

Setting two environment variables is undocumented.  I think rd_string
should not be needed.  If you need it due to the script engine problems,
it's better to fix the script engine.
I'm looking how to do it. The corresponding part to support foo=$bar  is here but commented out.
 At least please mark that hack as
a hack.

Perhaps we should consider adding %X support to grub_printf().  I
realize that it will increase the core slightly, but if it's just a few
bytes, we could accept it.  Other modules may use it.
 Let me think a bit about it. Unfortunately what seems to be few bytes in a first glance may be up to 100 bytes once implemented
 Or maybe we could
have grub_toupper(), perhaps an inline function?
If it's an inline then it's ok. 

Another thing to consider is whether md5 support should be in a separate
file.  It would make it possible to reuse md5 for other commands.
Actually  md5 is a part of Michael Gorven patch where it's exported nicely but since his patch is pending I temporary copied it to this file. So I think it's unnecessary to
