Well, I had a reason to install it in HOST_DIR rather than
BINARIES_DIR. Since I'm producing this image unconditionally, even if
the user is not interested in ISO9660, I didn't want to clutter
BINARIES_DIR with this file, which would appear as soon as the user
enables grub2. So I preferred to install it together with all the other
"internal" Grub images in HOST_DIR, and pick it up from there in the
iso9660.mk logic.

Now, if you think cluttering BINARIES_DIR with this file only useful
for ISO booting as soon as Grub 2 is enabled is fine, then I'll happily
change it.

Thanks for the review!
