Treacherous GRUB isn't our software. Moreover it puts your freedom in
danger. For more info http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html.

Grab the tarball, then ./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo
grub-install /dev/sdX, replace X with boot drive. You can either reuse
your GRUB legacy config by putting following in grub.cfg:
legacy_source /boot/grub/menu.lst
Or generate modern grub.cfg with
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
