ext4 is not supported in base, only by the filesystems extension, and perhaps by an updated e2fsprogs extension in the future.

Shurely not  ??? - I use grub on my ext4 crunchbang desktop (the one I wanted to put tinycore on, but can't because it's not ext4 compliant).
eee user. From Xandros to Debian via Breeezy to TCL.

Quick solution - remaster ext4 module in, use grub from Crunchbang (which already has the ext4 patch).
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
