[syslinux] tftpd-hpa feature suggestion

[J.H.]

Check the mailing lists, I believe it's been explained already, however
it comes down to if the cgi program on the tftp server takes too long to
execute the client side will timeout and you'll be dead in the water.
What would need to be done is some sort of transfer that would cause
something akin to a keep alive that would inform the client to stall and
then retry.
