Hi folks,
There are enough changes on the 'firmware' branch to warrant another
prerelease. Things that jump out are the changes to update the current
working directory when executing syslinux.efi (previously .c32 failed to
load if installed to a non-standard directory such as /boot/syslinux,
because the current working directory wasn't correct), the realloc() fix
from Shao and a new script to automatically lookup the gnu-efi files,
which means people shouldn't have to hack mk/efi.mk anymore.
Oh, it also includes a merge of syslinux-5.00-pre10.
Please help test!
Shortlog appended below.
