First, the "Boot Loader Specification" link has moved to a new location,
so link to that directly. Second, that link does not document as much of
the extlinux.conf format as I recall the old version doing at least.
However, the Syslinux Wiki is the current location of the documentation
linked to in doc/README.pxe and so add a link to that wiki as well.
