Well, this comment is slightly out of date. It is (mostly) written,
(mostly) functional, and (mostly) integrated. Just not documented.

See the latest oskit snapshot at:

	http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/software.html

If you look at boot/pxe/main.c you will see some example usage. Search for
pxe_invoke and biosread. The PXE boot program is a recent addition to the
oskit, and is known to work (we use it on dozens of machines), so its a
good example to look at.
