[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/12 v3] Bump and improve syslinux (branch yem/syslinux)

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

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


Changes v2 -> v3:
  - install syslinux files in sub-dir of images/  (Romain)
  - install syslinux .c32 modules  (Romain)
  - typoes

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - explain the need for an ia32 compiler  (Arnout)
  - make the image selection a choice  (Arnout)
  - improve upx commit log  (Arnout)
  - typoes  (Arnout)
  - improve help entry for the mbr option


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
