Remove the usage of "local" in scripts introduces a small bug in "versio

Subject: Remove the usage of "local" in scripts introduces a small bug in "version_test_gt()"

Hi,

it looks to me that the patch which removes the usage of "local" in
scripts (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2011-11/msg00037.html)
introduces a bug in the function version_test_gt() in the file
util/grub-mkconfig_lib.in:

The variable $cmp is set to "gt" or "ge", however,
$version_test_gt_cmp is used instead and the case has no effect.

This patch should fix it:

"$version_test_gt_b"
   return "$?"

I noticed the problem when I tried to apply the patch
"dpkg_version_comparison.patch" from Debian.

Maybe someone should take a look at the other variables ...

Regards,

Lukas
