is ldlinux.c32 searched for by ldlinux.sys/isolinux.bin in the same way 
as the config file is searched for by ldlinux.c32 ?
Meaning "/", "/boot" , cwd, etc.

The UPX executable compressor program should help a bit, besides 
syslinux.com/exe I'm not sure which files/modules can be compressed. In 
theory if modules are ELF-format, UPX should be able to handle them. 
Syslinux64.exe isn't compressible as UPX doesn't support compressing 
64bit (windows) binaries yet.
