[syslinux] pxelinux load configuration files (ARP type code, and IPaddress in hex)

Hi!

As documented: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX

When pxelinux "boots" it is looking for this:

       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C
       /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/default

Is is possible to make pxelinux look for MAC and IP, removing one hex digit (or 2 for mac) and try again like this:

        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C
        /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/default

We could be in need for a custom file/menu for this group of addresses (as an example): /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa

Could that be possible to add to syslinux?
