The reason for the symlink is that I want to be able to easily switch
between pxelinux versions (and their dependant c32 progs).

What other method yould you suggest for this purpose? Should I use
bin/pxelinux.0 as the bootfile and it will automatically try to load the
modules from bin/ as well? But I would need $tftp_prefix to be the "root"
from which stuff like "config menu/server.txt" works...

Great! Will do so. If you give me advice about efficient switching between
pxelinux versions that would also help.
