  Sorry -- prefix is the wrong term.  It is interesting that you're going 
beyond what I thought, though; I thought you were just going to do what 
grub-mkrescue did by creating the platform subdirs and putting grub.cfg in 
there that does platform-specific stuff then sources ../grub.cfg;  I think 
that was a good approach, since you ended up with the generic entries in the 
../grub.cfg file and platform-specific goodness in the platform dirs.
