[syslinux] Supporting WinImage compressed images

[G. Murali Krishnan]

I dont think GETARGS can change the environment of its parent. Linux does
not allow that. I think DOS does not allow that either. So for now you
will have to say

echo off
getargs.com > CONFIG.BAT
CALL CONFIG.BAT
...

The other advantage of this is that all your scripts can CALL CONFIG.BAT
to find all the boot time parameters. For example, my network script looks
at one variable to decide whether (or how) to start network. Mount script
looks at another variable to decide what (or whether) share to mount...
