ReactOS has a GPL boot loader, FreeLdr, that currently boots Windows
2003 without using ntldr: <http://www.reactos.org/en/newsletter_37.html>

Also, freeldr can be booted up as a multiboot module (see notes.txt), so
you can start it under syslinux.

It might be useful to you, either for booting windows 2003 or as a
starting point for your own version.

Current source is at:
svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/reactos/boot/freeldr
