Thanks for testing. I'm glad to hear confirmation that this saga may
finally be nearing its end.

For the record, I wouldn't recommend propagating the idea that 'sudo
grub-install /dev/sda2' is a good thing to run on Wubi. The correct
command is:

  sudo grub-install /dev/loop0

As it happens, it makes no difference right now, because lupin-support
overrides everything with a large hammer so that it makes absolutely no
difference what device you tell grub-install to use - /dev/loop0,
/dev/sda2, /dev/sda, etc. will all behave the same way. In the future,
though, we may change this, so please don't assume that anything other
than /dev/loop0 will work.
