This is not currently supported under SYSLINUX; it's supported under 
extlinux, however.

With some of the recent changes to SYSLINUX for FAT32 support, it's 
probably not too hard to add subdirectory support, but I don't know when 
I will have time to do it.  Unfortunately things are more than just busy 
for me right now; it's downright insane.
