It turns out that building gPXE was pretty easy under ubuntu (nice work),
so I tested my patch, which works neatly,
and I also implemeted the second part:
I extended the set command, so that it would store multi-word values as
well,
combining this with my previous patch, and you have the option to hit Ctrl-B
after the second prompt, enter ${win7g11}, and it can fully execute every
command out there.

patches so far:
http://iknowu.net/files/public/gPXE/SetVariablesBeforeShell.patch
http://iknowu.net/files/public/gPXE/MultiwordSettings.patch

I think those new options can be beneficial to more than just me, and
belongs to the trunk.
let me know if there is any problem.

Regards,
Tal Aloni
