Imminent bugfix release (1.97.1)

[Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>]

A security problem [1] was found in our password-checking routines,
which affects GRUB 1.97.  I'll be releasing 1.97.1 tomorrow.

Additionally, I cherry-picked fixes for a few problems that should
have made it to the release, like GNU/Hurd support (see NEWS file
for details).  The release branch is available in:

  sftp://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/grub/branches/release_1_97/

If you have time, please test this tree, specially password support,
to help find possible problems.

Thanks!
