Hello! I downloaded the contents of the SVN contained repository using the normal instructions for the tool and it arrived. I then proceeded to build it. It then decided to take exception in several areas of my choice of Linux distributions. Essentially towards the end of the build process it tossed an exception. This was inside the portion marked bootstrap. Similar problems happened with each of the releases, except ones from the early sixties.
Since I do not wish to crowd the list with this litany of actual problems I will have a webpage up detailing all of them at http://yodathejediknight.home.att.net within the next few hours. (EDT NY time)

This is due to a permission bug in viewvc/viewcvs. r70 provides a workaround for this problem.

Hello! Well that works. Thank you Stefan for taking the time to catch my methods behind my means. Obviously from a much earlier post from the older LinuxBIOS list, and from the appropriate page on the site I have worked out how to boot the resulting image from GRUB.
However one question: How do I make use of the grubfs files? For example I came across the usual files that I see when I build a release of Grub-Legacy, and those make sense, (Those are the ones that start with fsys.) but I saw there one called grubfs.o . These were seen in the target subdirectory inside and inside the subdirectory fs and then inside one called (what else?) grubfs. Are these for the one called Grub2?

No. I used grubfs as the umbrella term for all the filesystems I imported from (legacy) grub. The reason I used these fs drivers was they are small and easy to include in own projects. The grub2 fs drivers supported a lot less filesystems, so I never added support to include these drivers as well. Except for zfs there's probably enough filesystems in openbios by now..
