[syslinux] menu.c32 - Return from sub-menu

[Murali Krishnan Ganapathy]

I am currently thinking of writing a python script which takes a 
ini-like file which can declare the menu structure and generate the C code.
This will make it easier for people to change the menus, but will not 
eliminate the need for compilation.
Eventually, if I can get the parser implemented in C, then the need for 
compiling will be eliminated.
