[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.10 released

[H. Peter Anvin]

Changes in 3.10:
         * gcc 4.0.1 compilation fixes.
         * Add support for querying the PCI BIOS in libcom32
           (used by ethersel et al.)
         * Fix PCI handing (ethersel etc) on several old chipsets (and
           VMWare.)
         * Try to deal with systems with broken EBIOS.
         * New API call to do "localboot".
         * New API call to query features.
         * New API call to run kernel image, a lower-level call than
           "run command".  See comboot.doc.
         * Fix for bug in EBIOS code discovered by Arwin Vosselman.
         * NOESCAPE security fix.
         * Comments are now recognized even without a space following #.
         * Fix incorrect handling of mixes of entries with and without
           MENU PASSWD.
         * The idle API call now harmlessly returns failure if it is a
           no-op.  That way the caller can decide whether or not to
           bother invoking it again.
         * Temporarily disable the idle API call on PXELINUX, due to
           some platforms on which the idle API call seems to hang; this
           problem has not yet been debugged.
         * MEMDISK: the handling of DOSEMU-headered images was broken;
           fix it.
         * EXTLINUX: symlinks are now supported.
         * Simple menu system: N and P now work correctly as hotkeys.
         * MEMDISK: more BIOS bug workarounds.

Description:    SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
                 operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3
                 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers
                 using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.  The FAT
                 filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or
                 Linux.

                 It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32"
                 modules, including a significant subset of the
                 standard C library.

                 It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy
                 operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE
                 or CD-ROM.
