Changes in 3.73:
* Upgrade gPXE to release version 0.9.5.
* Fix a number of build errors on various platforms.
* Handle systems with E820 "extended attributes" per ACPI 3.
Someone "cleverly" decided to change the E820 spec in a
backwards-incompatible manner!
* MEMDISK: default to "safeint".
* Adopt the moniker "The Syslinux Project", standard proper
noun capitalization, to refer to the project as a whole.
Thus, reserve the all-caps "SYSLINUX" to refer to the FAT
loader.
* mboot.c32: add "-solaris" option to pass DHCP information to
the Solaris kernel; required for automatic Solaris boot
without using Solaris' pxeboot program.
* config.c32: trivial COM32 module to restart Syslinux with
another configuration file from the command line (equivalent
to the CONFIG command in the configuratin file.)

Title: syslinux
Version: 3.73
Entered-date: 2009-01-25
Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3
filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers
using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. The FAT
filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or
Linux.
It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32"
modules, including a significant subset of the
standard C library.
It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy
operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE
or CD-ROM.
This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network
files via other protocols than TFTP.
