Some powerpc machines require not updating the NVRAM. This can be handled
by existing grub-install command-line options, but it's friendlier to detect
this automatically.
On chrp_ibm machines, use the nvram utility rather than nvsetenv. (This
is possibly suitable for other machines too, but that needs to be
verified.)

in posix-comaptible way. Also writing it in C extends the functionality
to non-UNIX-like OS and minimal environments.
