To make this work done I need to split syslinux.cfg in some parts, any 
issues?

mkarchiso will parse all to find/replace "%XYZ%" like archiso2dual is 
doing in my install_dir branch.

My idea (any sugestions are very welcomed)

<common>
-------------------------
<main>
<Arch Linux>
<chainloader>
<reboot>
<poweroff>

<tools>
<hdt>
<memtest>
<memtest w/memdisk>(*)
<maybe some syslinux toy...>

<keymap>
<the>
<list>
<of>
<all>
<keymaps>
---------------------------

(*) some machines need this when BIOS puts more stuff than normal below 
640K.
