isn't 0 (Gene Cumm).
     win64: Script update for additional mingw compiler names (Gene Cumm).
     diag: New directory for diagnostic-related tools. Add a handoff 
MBR/VBR and geometry display images (Gene Cumm).
     MEMDISK: use "mem=" parameter to mark available memory above this

machines, but break just about as many. Some machines which worked with 
"localboot 0" in previous versions may need "localboot -1" in this one. 
If you have a machine which requires "localboot -1", a copy of the 
dmidecode or sysdump output would be appreciated.

     Handle directory names starting with .. for vfat and iso9660.
     New MENU HIDDENKEY command to provide a one-keystroke way to 
activate a boot option from a hidden menu intro screen.
