- Update to version 4.05
  * HDT updated, and now supports uploading data to a TFTP server.
  * ISOLINUX: remove the .img file support; it has been broken on
    virtually all systems since the beginning, and has been totally
    broken since 4.00 at least. Use MEMDISK instead.
  * chain.c32: Support chaining ReactOS' FreeLdr (Shao Miller)
  * isohybrid: -m option to add support for Mac EFI booting.
  * ifmemdsk.c32: Choose boot option based on presence of MEMDISK.
  * Remove bogus distributed mk-lba-img binary.
  * The Syslinux project has a new, cool logo by Abi "ixxvil" Rasheed (doc/logo/*).
