As I recall, that's a Red Hat-ism.  The menu.lst file being the default
GRUB file, as used by GRUB, and grub.conf being the file we're using.
And that recollection tallies with what I've seen on other Linux
installations that use GRUB.  Having said that, it shouldn't matter
which is the file and which is the link.

It should be easy to test which is the default file:  Remove both,
create separate, and slightly different, files.  Then see which is
actually used when booting.

I have no desire to reboot, so I'm not going to test this at the moment.
