Good idea.  I've created a syslinux branch at

  http://git.ipxe.org/people/mcb30/syslinux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ipxelinux

This will build ipxelinux.0.  I haven't tested it yet.  I suspect it may not 
work straight away, since I think there's an outstanding bug regarding the use 
of use-cached.

Feel free to give it a try and let us know if it works!
