[syslinux] Syslinux 5 Path Option.

I'm not seeing how to set this path option?
Here is what I get using vesamenu.c32 as an example when 
moved to a directory outside of the build. The current syslinux 
4.06 has all the files in the same directory which is at the root of 
the cd.

ldd vesamenu.c32

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb77c5000)
../../com32/libutil/libutil_com.c32 => not found
../../com32/lib/libcom32.c32 => not found

readelf -d vesamenu.c32

Dynamic section at offset 0x635c contains 17 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: 
[../../com32/libutil/libutil_com.c32]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: 
[../../com32/lib/libcom32.c32]
 0x6ffffef5 (GNU_HASH)                   0x94
 0x00000005 (STRTAB)                     0x830
 0x00000006 (SYMTAB)                     0x200
 0x0000000a (STRSZ)                      1199 (bytes)
 0x0000000b (SYMENT)                     16 (bytes)
 0x00000003 (PLTGOT)                     0x6458
 0x00000002 (PLTRELSZ)                   552 (bytes)
 0x00000014 (PLTREL)                     REL
 0x00000017 (JMPREL)                     0x10a8
 0x00000011 (REL)                        0xce0
 0x00000012 (RELSZ)                      968 (bytes)
 0x00000013 (RELENT)                     8 (bytes)
 0x00000016 (TEXTREL)                    0x0
 0x6ffffffa (RELCOUNT)                   70
 0x00000000 (NULL)                       0x0

So where does one modify this new PATH setting? The 
../../com32 path is in plan text using hexedit to look at, and could 
be manually modified, but that wouldn't appear to be the best way 
to modify it, and would probable be an unwanted hack.

Is the version 5.00 actually released released, or is it just released 
for developers to play with.
