Syslinux - Oct 2010 - [PATCH] Adding a gPXE detection function to lua.c32

Quite a simple patch: adds a is_gpxe() function to the lua.c32 module.
Helps to know if an OS can be loaded through http (or any other
advanced protocol) or if it has to fall back on tftp. This function
exposes the result of the is_gpxe() function declared in "sys/gpxe.h".

While I am all for integrating new functionality in lua, I think we need 
to determine how the interfaces (functions, variables) look like to have 
some consistency for future features.

When can we have such a discussion ?
