Thanks for the feedback as I didn't know anyone had really tried it
yet.  I've just fixed it and need to form a patch to submit (hopefully
tonight).

It is still beta and works best in SYSLINUX.  Running 'ls' on a
directory won't work anywhere else.  Running 'ls' on a regular file in
most if not all variants should work.

I need to finish out programming the readdir function in asm then I'll
be submitting another patch to obtain similar functionality in
ISOLINUX.  After that, EXTLINUX.
