Currently, the linker drops text strings into hdt.c32 specifying its
dependencies and the Syslinux core hunts for those. It would be a change of
the Makefiles and the list of filename suffixes to attempt which is already
variant-specific.  I believe this becomes a near-trivial development change.

However, I think the bigger impact is on the user side as any scripts used
to copy them around and any config files will likely change.  Currently, my
config files all reference COM32s with ".c32" (the preferred setup add it
eliminates the filename guessing game) and I'd need to remove that to keep
things universal and slow things down in the process.
