    syslinux: version bumped to 4.00.
    
    Changes:
    * Major code base changes; all filesystem rewritten in C.
    * EXTLINUX: btrfs and ext4 support.
    * EXTLINUX is no longer a separate derivative; extlinux and
      syslinux both install the same loader (ldlinux.sys); for the
      Linux-based installers the extlinux binary is used for a
      mounted filesystem; the syslinux binary for an unmounted
      filesystem.
    * When loading a new configuration file with the CONFIG
      command, one can now also specify a new current directory
      with an APPEND statement.
    * Full ADV support for Syslinux, to boot-once and MENU SAVE
      works.
    * Full support of GPT-partitioned disks, including disks
      and/or parititions larger than 2 TiB (if supported by BIOS.)
    * The GPT handover protocol adjusted to the current T13
      committee draft; see doc/gpt.txt.
    * HDT: code cleanup, small bugfixes
    * The "linux" syslinux installer (syslinux-nomtools) now has a
      command-line syntax closer to the extlinux installer.  The
      mtools, dos and win32 installers will get this new syntax
      eventually, but it is not implemented yet.
    * chain.c32: support booting GPT partitions by index, GUID, label.
    * chain.c32: support booting the Syslinux partition with "fs".
    * chain.c32: implement gpt.txt hand-over protocol.
    * chain.c32: support for chainloading Grub stage 2.
    * PXELINUX: TFTP URL syntax (tftp://) supported even when not
      running gPXE/gpxelinux.
    * New ls.c32 module to display the contents of the disk from
      the command line, and pwd.c32 to display the current
      directory.
    * rosh.c32 (read only shell) updated and hopefully usable.
    * PXELINUX: Support "localboot -1", just like the other
      derivatives.
    * gfxboot.com removed in favor of gfxboot.c32.
    * New MENU HELP statement to display fullscreen help text as a
      result of a menu selection.
    * memdiskfind utility that can be used with the phram driver
      in the Linux kernel to mount a memdisk.
        * ifcpu.c32: Adding usage when no parameters are given,
          adding PAE support.
    * ifcpu.c32, ifcpu64.c32: handle more than one argument per
      target.
    * isohybrid: C version which does not require Perl.
    * New command MENU IMMEDIATE to permit hotkeys to activate
      immediately without needing Enter.
    * mdiskchk.com supports a --no-sequential (or -n) option to
      suppress the classic all-drive-probing heuristic.  Useful
      on BIOSes who crash/hang when certain drive numbers are
      probed.
    * ElTorito.Sys DOS driver now scans drive numbers upwards
      instead of downwards, in order to avoid a fairly common
      bug on some BIOSes where probing drive 0xFF causes a
      failure.
