The first attempt was to do exactly that however Syslinux depended on too
many bleeding edge commits of gnu-efi to make it viable.  It also levels
the field such that everyone has the same version.

The only viable alternatives I can think of are:

1) Use our own repo.
2) Put a Makefile variable in to indicate to use system then check if
sufficient else fail the entire build.

Bear in mind this also complicates debugging.
