I should also add that I don't intend to develop this version of the
external menu program very far. I will just make it resemble the
internal menuing as far as possible and then any improvements are up to
you hackers. My goal here is to remove crud from Etherboot.

The external program chaining mechanism is general and has been in
Etherboot for over a year.  It's documented in the developers guide and
there are comments in the sample program.  So you could start from
scratch and create any fancy program you like. Lots of possibilities,
use the mouse for input, animation, fractals, etc. etc.
