Perhaps some background is required. I stumbled across wimboot in the 
context of trying to boot Win10 on a legacy BIOS GPT system:

http://reboot.pro/topic/19970-grub2-wimboot-windows-setup/?p=186399

Here GRUB chains to wimboot while supplying an initrd with 
bootmgr/bootmgr.exe and BCD. Once wimboot does its thing, Win10 boots 
from the GPT partition.
