Macroize the generation of the "insufficient DOS RAM string";

Actually use the 1000h segment instead of letting it go to waste;
Set comboot_seg == real_mode_seg to save 40K

+Changes in 2.04:
+       * ALL: Reclaim even more low memory by observing that
+       comboot_seg == real_mode_seg is perfectly fine, and by the
+       fact that the 1000h segment managed to get unused in all

 Changes in 2.03:
        * Actually support comment lines in the configuration file.
        * PXELINUX: Try to resolve some problems with stack switches.
