The only other thing I can think of is a bit ugly, but would make for 
short commands.

#!gpxe
set sanboot_cmd sanboot
set win7_san iscsi:192.168.0.100::::foo:win7
set winxp_san iscsi:192.168.0.100::::bar:winxp
set win7:hex ${sanboot_cmd:hex}:20:${win7_san:hex}
set winxp:hex ${sanboot_cmd:hex}:20:${winxp_san:hex}
echo Win7 command:
show win7
echo WinXP command:
show winxp

Then you would have glued the relevant portions together with a space 
character and you could then do:

gPXE> ${win7}

or

gPXE> ${winxp}

I carbon-copied the gPXE general discussion mailing-list instead of the 
developers' mailing-list.  I hope you don't mind.
