[syslinux] [PATCH] isohybrid: user options

So you have BIOSes which would not boot
that stick with pentry == 1 ?

I don't quite understand yet the role of
fstype, as with isohybrid the filesystem
is ISO 9660 anyway.
So what is the reason for 0x83 "Linux" or
0x1c "FAT" ?

Well, it will increase the size of code and
documentation in any case :)
Main criteria for decision are:
- Can it do any harm ? Do i have to warn users ?
- What is it good for ?
- How to describe this in libisofs API and in
  xorriso man page ?

I'll watch the further carreer of your patch
here and will eventually bring it into the
builtin isohybrid of libisofs.
Thanks for your advise.

Have a nice day :)
