By the way, I'm happy to accept bugs against grub-installer or os-prober that ask for support for booting specific operating systems, particularly if they come with instructions on how to detect them (os-prober's job) and set up boot stanzas in menu.lst for them (grub-installer's job) that are detailed enough for me to go and write code; typically detection involves some kind of unique thing in the filesystem that lets you identify the operating system given only the ability to mount it. I'm just not willing to accept a bug report that says "please implement support for booting every other operating system", because with all due respect that is essentially impossible to close.
