I guess have been asking the wrong question all along,  Frankly I don't
care at all about automated detection of the boot partitions and creating
the menu, I am totally fine manually creating a file in /etc/grub.d

What I was missing  it looks like is that modules have to be loaded
explicitly even to see the partitions.

Now I just added the proper insmod command to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom and
voila - I have a valid windows entry in the grub menu now!

Man, sorry it took me so long to understand, and thank you again for your
patience, Pascal :)

If you want to boot Windows manually from GRUB, you can use the
