Currently the win32-loader.ini format is a bit cryptic if you're not familiar
with the source.  I'm not sure a proper spec would be useful, since the
interface can be dynamicaly adjusted as needed (maybe even in a single commit,
since they're in the same repository).  Anyway, the whole thing is currently:

[installer]
user_interface=(graphical|text)
; Optional argument.  Indicates the _only_ interface that this media provides.
; If ommitted, it means both are available.
arch=(i386|amd64)
; Optional argument.  Again, indicates the only architecture provided by this
; media.  If ommitted, it means both are provided (Multi-arch).
misc entries for different combinations of linux/initrd, text/gtk, i386/amd64

[live]
; optional section, same format as [installer].  this would allow mixed
; installer/live CDs to exist in the future

[grub]
; where grub images are in the CD
