Hello All!

Here are a few patches to bump and enhance syslinux:
  - patches 1..4: preparatory fixing and cleanup patches
  - patches 5..6: new pacakges, dependency of the new syslinux
  - patch   7   : actual syslinux bump
  - patches 8..9: new options to install new types of blobs

To be noted, the syslinx build system is, well, a bit weird, to say
the least. There is I hope extensive-enough information about this
in the bump-patch. Please pay it a bit of attention, it is really
convoluted, and would benefit from some in-depth review.

Thanks to Franck for his preliminary work on ucl and upx, and to
Thomas L. whose extlinux patch prompted me to look at syslinux. ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
