sanboot.c32 should work on top of pxelinux.0 if it is running on top of
gPXE.

If you want to, say, have a menu running in ISOLINUX, you can use it to
launch a lkrn build of gPXE.  Currently, you have to embed a script into
the image which contains the root path, but that is going to change very
soon and gPXE is going to simply be able to take a command using the
normal append mechanism.
