IIRC, WUBI is just a nicely packaged VM running ubuntu. If you want to dual boot, just use the standard Ubuntu installer to partition off a bit of free space. It'll handle the GRUB install which is smart enough to detect that you have a windows partition installed (just make sure you don't blow away the entire windows partition while you're installing. It's pretty clear though)
