I don't see how PowerPC support would be different.  It's a filesystem
issue.  Actually, on PowerPC blessing on HFS (not on HFS+) would be
needed.
You need to set file type to tbxi on PowerPC. On HFS+ there are 2 relevant entries: blessed directory and blessed file. On EFI it works like:
first tries blessed file if it's missing it tries (blessed directory)/boot.efi
On PowerPC it searches for the first file of type tbxi in blessed directory

I think it would be better to name the command "hfsbless".  The way, HFS
support could be added to the same command later.
I'm ok with renaming


Adding commands/hfspbless.c to grub_emu_SOURCES only on i386-pc seems
inconsistent.  Either it should be added everywhere or nowhere.  I think
we need a build system reorganization to allow grub_emu_SOURCES to be
mostly platform independent.
I completely agree. Bean was interested in doing so. Bean: what's your status?

The spacing change in conf/i386-pc.rmk is unnecessary.

"(void) mod;" is unnecessary.

fs/hfsplus.c should include grub/hfsplus.h or it won't compile.

In find_inode(), the core start with

if(! info->inodeset)
 return 0;

It's both faster and more readable.

Please run hfspbless.c through indent.  It would fix such things as

(fs->dir) (dev, *path == 0 ?"/":path, find_inode);
Thank you for these comments. I'll fix it as soon as I finish the build system additions I promised Carles
