I look forward to testing the new features! The new features are going
to give my product a new facelift (not that it is user observable).
Typo's in the changes so far?
* "ontimeoutcmd" should be replaced with "ontimeout"?
* "onerror" not mentioned.

P.S: BTW, if any body is interested in implementing a GRUB like menu
based interface using COM32 code, I can send some C++ code I wrote long
ago, which implements a text based Dialog Boxes and stuff. Even though
it is all C++ all the actual output routines are written using assembly
so there is no printf used in the entire code. But I dont know if the
code will still work on modern machines.

> * PXELINUX: Actually free sockets when we get a failure

> * MEMDISK: Add an API to query for the existence of MEMDISK.
> * SYSLINUX: Fix loading boot sectors (.bs/.bss) from floppy
> disk.
> * .c32 is now one of the extensions searched for automatically.
