Would vesamenu.c32 do what you are looking for, somewhat?

It at least gets you to the point where the same background pic can be used
by isolinux/syslinux/pxelinux. I do not know what format the background is
in when using gfxboot, but vesamenu.c32 seems to use some fairly standard
formats (jpg for example).

If gfxboot has advantages over vesamenu.c32 I am unaware of what those
benefits are.
