For the kernel we run mkinitcpio. So there shouldn't be a real reason why we 
shouldn't run grub-mkconfig >/${main_grub_dir}/grub.cfg for grub. That being 
said, the path is /boot/grub.cfg for me, so I'm not sure how we'd get the 
installfile to figure out where to output its output.

One key difference is that the output of mkinitcpio are binary files, whereas 
grub.cfg is a text file, and maybe operators would like to modify that file 
after it's generated? So one could make a case that the install file should in 
fact keep its hands off grub.cfg entirely.

cheers!
