[syslinux] Patch to comboot menu

[Murali Krishnan Ganapathy]

I had weird errors dealing with the current text mode. May be it was 
related to the problem which was just solved. I have removed the 
dependence on the 80x25 textmode on the OpenWatcom version of the code. 
Once I get to office, I will make the same changes on the gcc version. 
As a side effect, one can define a window within the menusystem should 
do its work, leaving the remaining space for you to do what you want.

I am also modifying the non-gcc compatible version of the code along the 
lines of the distributed version, so that the same file (simple.c / 
complex.c) can be compiled against either version.
