The 6.00 preleases include copies of syslinux.efi for both 32-bit and
64-bit at efi32/efi/syslinux.efi and efi64/efi/syslinux.efi,
respectively. You shouldn't need to request copies form me explicitly
unless, like Klaus, you're trying to debug something.

Configs are generally backwards compatible. I can't think of any
directives between 4.x, 5.x and 6.x that have been deprecated.
