[syslinux] Syslinux search for config file

Confirmed.

I tried now with the linux version (syslinux binary on Slackware) and
it actually does load the config file from the directory where
syslinux is installed, even if it is /slax/boot/

I tried to use parameters for syslinux.exe with forward slashes, like
syslinux.exe -d /slax/boot ... but this didn't help. So the bug is
somewhere inside.
In all cases, even if this bug is fixed for win32 installer, I wish
that isolinux supports this as well, so I could get rid of the /boot/
folder on CDs as well.

Just some logging:


bootinfoscript after windows syslinux.exe installation:

sdb1: __________________________________________________________________________

    File system:       vfat
    Boot sector type:  SYSLINUX 4.05 2011-12-09
    Boot sector info:  Syslinux looks at sector 4203008 of /dev/sdb1 for its
                       second stage. SYSLINUX is installed in the \slax^Hoot
                       directory. No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.

Notice there is ^H character instead of \b
But it is possible that the bootinstscript just incorrectly reports
that, there may be real \b instead.
