[Etherboot-discuss] vendor-class-identifier missing in gpxe-0.5

The gpxe-0.5 branch is not supplying
  Option 60: Vendor class identifier = "<something>"

As part of the DCHP REQUEST packet. 

That is why I was having trouble getting my dhcpd.conf
to respond correctly ... because I was looking for

  substring(option
vendor-class-identifier,0,9)="Etherboot"

in my dhcpd.conf in order to use gpxe as a
second-stage PXE loader. 

I used ethereal to capture the packets, and Option 60
is not being provided in the gpxe-0.5 branch. 

It is being provided in the etherboot-5.4 branch.
