[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.31 released

[Ryan McLean]

Could  we have an option to define the timeout msg?

So instead of "Automatically Booting in XX seconds"

So I could have "Returning to Main menu in XX seconds".

and as a futher extension to this can we call a var that stores the 
default option so i could have

"Installing <DEFAULT> in XX seconds"
"Booting <DEFAULT> in XX seconds"

where <DEFAULT> is the default boot option in that cfg file.

I dont think its a feature of much use to those of us posting here, but 
if any of us are letting users near it i think it would be usefull for 
them to see what is happening so they don't panic and choose something 
by mistake.

Below are my conf files incase anyone is interested
