COMBOOT files (.cbt and .com) are no longer supported under
Syslinux.
+Changes in 4.07:
+ * EXTLINUX: fix crash caused by dereferencing garbage pointer.
+ * Plug memory leak in searchdir which eventually leads to an
+ observable hang (Shao Miller).
+ * ISOLINUX: fix bug triggered by isohybrid images larger than
+ 32K which results in an invalid image checksum error.
+ * menugen: make it Py3k compatible (Paulo Alcantara).

Changes in 4.06:
* Support for NTFS, by Paulo Alcantara.
* EXTLINUX: more robust device detection, allow user to override.
