Technically it could be. But...

The goal is to be able to create very small iso image files that could
be sent by e-mail. If I was to add the Windows installation files on the
media it would be both too big and licensing issues...

I had a look at the chain.c32 in the syslinux-3.71-pre16. I will do some
tests with it. Of course this would require some Windows files on the
ISOLINUX media. If it works I will have to create a script that will
collect the files from a the Windows Installation media, create disk
images etc. to avoid licensing issues. But that is acceptable.
