[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.00-pre8: Let's try this release thing again

[H. Peter Anvin]

Okay, spending the time to dot t's and cross i's (or something like 
that), I think I have something now that can be called 3.00-worthy, so 
let's call it a release candidate.

Changes over the earlier 3.00 prereleases:

- -m and -a options now supported by the DOS installer.
- PXELINUX now allows IP addresses, FQDNs, and truncated hostnames when 
specifying an alternate TFTP server (hostnames without dots get the 
DHCP-provided local domain name appended.)
- Simple menu system now support hotkeys, see README.menu for details.
- Add an API function to do hostname resolution.

Please grab this one and try to break it, pretty please.

All changes over 2.13 so far:

Changes in 3.00:
         * SYSLINUX: Support FAT32 and EDD.  As an unfortunate
           consequence, LDLINUX.SYS is no longer an ordinary file; it
           is block-mapped at install time, which means it can only be
           written using the syslinux installers.
         * SYSLINUX: Reorganize the source code for the installers;
           each one of the installers (dos, win32, unix, mtools) is now
           built in its own subdirectory.  In particular, "mtools" is
           the unprivileged installer which uses mtools; "unix" is the
           privileged installer which uses system calls.
         * SYSLINUX: Completely rewritten DOS installer in C.
         * ALL: "label" statement information is now stored in a
           compressed format, which means that a lot more labels are
           permitted (500-1000 in a typical configuration, but depends
           on the complexity.)
         * EXTLINUX: New derivative, which boots from an ext2/ext3
           filesystem.
         * SYSLINUX: The DOS and Win32 installers can now optionally
           write the boot sector to a file instead of the real boot
           sector.  This is not supported in the Linux installers,
           however.
         * ALL: New NOESCAPE command, disables the "hold down the Shift
           key to display the prompt" behaviour.
         * New simple menu system, as an alternative to the advanced
           menu system already present.  See README.menu for details.
         * PXELINUX: Filenames can now be prefixed with an IP address
           or DNS name plus :: (e.g. 192.0.2.1::filename or
           server.domain.com::filename), which downloads a file from an
           alternate TFTP server, or just a :: (e.g. ::filename), which
           suppresses the common pathname prefix.  See pxelinux.doc.
         * SYSLINUX: Add an -m option to the DOS and Win32 installers
           to write an MBR and -a to mark the partition SYSLINUX is
           being installed on active.
