OK, 6.01 is now out.

The main intention of this release was to fix the terrible bug in
Syslinux 6.00 which made it impossible to boot kernels from BIOS. This
resulted in a way shorter than usual release cycle, and it does mean
that there are some bugs that have been reported that haven't yet been
fixed. Shortlog appended below.

Thanks to everyone who helped test things out.
