Changes in 2.01 (so far):
        * MEMDISK: Fix memory sizing bug when the ramdisk crosses the
          16 MB boundary.
        * MEMDISK: Add a "pause" option to stop immediately before
          booting, to read off the messages.
        * MEMDISK: Support disk images with DOSEMU headers.
        * Update the mkdiskimage script to handle newer mtools
          versions, and be able to generate disk images with DOSEMU
          headers (controlled by the -d option).
        * Fix the COM32 sample program.
        * PXELINUX, ISOLINUX: Fix some COMBOOT API calls.
        * PXELINUX: Doc fix.
        * Build SYSLINUX into a small library for encapsulation into

        * SYSLINUX: Make installer work with "owner" in /etc/fstab.
        * SYSLINUX: Fix issue with working on nonpartitioned hard disk
          devices.  THIS CONFIGURATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
