grub2 with libzfs

[Christian Mangin]

Hello,

You don't need libzfs to use grub2 on ZFS. You just need to specify the
zfs module if your 'grub-install' target is a ZFS dataset. I've submitted
a patch for this port a while ago, There are probably issues I'm not
aware of but I've been using this custom port for the last 6 months
without problems.

(tarball attached.)
