When chain.c32 gets an top level entry in the syslinux Wiki,
then please also "Spin off" and "Use Cases" as requested
on http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-October/007568.html

Spin off should point
to http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SpinOff
and Use Cases
to http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/UseCases
