OK.  How about this?

2013-01-07  Colin Watson  <address@hidden>

        * docs/grub.texi (Images): Refer generally to grub-install rather
        than directly to grub-setup.
        (Installing GRUB using grub-install): Remove direct reference to
        grub-setup.
        (Device map) Likewise.
        (Invoking grub-install): Likewise.
        * docs/man/grub-install.h2m (SEE ALSO): Likewise.
        * docs/man/grub-mkimage.h2m (SEE ALSO): Likewise.
        * util/grub-install.in (usage): Likewise.

        * util/bash-completion.d/grub-completion.bash.in (_grub_setup):
        Apply to grub-bios-setup and grub-sparc64-setup rather than to
        grub-setup.
        * configure.ac: Remove grub_setup output variable.

        * docs/man/grub-bios-setup.h2m (NAME): Change name from grub-setup
