Just a heads up while testing newer versions to work around a hardware
problem it seems the config file parser is fubar.

Broken: ff78e2b62a45f18c0d427153f957d2f06c0f5c1c
Working: 332a924759efe50e783ad3116ecf17d518dfebe2

"append initrd=" and IPAPPEND aren't working anymore.
KERNEL works fine, but append is missing.

KERNEL linux.c32 APPEND vmlinuz initrd= does work however, but not with
IPAPPEND

I don't know what other features might be broken but I noticed these as they
are relivant to my environment.  On a side note, for the Dell R710, I needed
syslinux-3.74-pre3 in order to boot it as the R710 has so many intergrated
devices that it runs out of memory.
