Confirming everything that OdyX says. Awesome PXE integration, much more
mature than our preliminary attempts. :)

To compile, I did the following:
git clone git://git.debian.org/d-i/win32-loader.git
cd win32-loader
git checkout -b pxe remotes/origin/pxe
# remove "--format=i386-pc" from Makefile because I had an old grub version
cp /usr/share/gpxe/gpxe.lkrn ./pxe.lkrn
PXE=yes make

Tested the resulting win32-loader.exe in a vbox XP installation, worked
fine.

The only thing that remains is the boot menu title, we'll file another
bug for it once the pxe branch is merged to master.

Again, thank you OdyX, you're great. :)
