For Relax-and-Recover we need the syslinux version to know what 
capabilities are working to generate a configuration file, and our script 
does the following until it finds a match:

     extlinux --version
     syslinux --version
     strings isolinux.bin | awk '/^ISOLINUX / { print $2 }'
     strings pxelinux.0 | awk '/^PXELINUX / { print $2 }'

Maybe that is useful to you ?
