As a note, when your referencing something *ON* a wiki it's much, much,
much better to use the proper internal links vs. adding a full url.
That way if the url changes for whatever reason, things don't break.

I.E.

[[comboot.c32|comboot.c32]]

vs.

http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/comboot.c32

Real programmers do document, and that can be found with the code in the
syslinux source tree under com32/cmenu/
though keep in mind complex is intended to be a starting place for a
programmer to create such a complicated menu, it's not something you can
do with a configuration file like menu.c32.
