As you have probably noticed, discussion of non-Syslinux-based 
bootloaders is somewhat unpopular with the management of the Syslinux list.

I suggest that you simply describe to the Syslinux folks what you wish 
to accomplish, without being specific about the tools you wish to use. 
You may get answers you do not expect and that will help solve your 
problem in an different but effective way.
