[gPXE] sanbootconf hostname setting

[Michael Brown]

lsq726 has forwarded me a patch (attached for reference) that adds support to 
sanbootconf for setting the system hostname.  I'd like to get some input on 
this from other people using sanbootconf.

The iBFT includes a single "hostname" string, which gPXE already populates 
with the value of DHCP option 12.  sanbootconf currently ignores this value 
in the iBFT.

The proposed patch essentially takes this value from the iBFT and stores it in 
the following registry entries:

  CCS\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\ComputerName
  CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Hostname
  CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\NV Hostname

This appears to be sufficient for renaming a computer that is *not* a domain 
member.  I am not sure how this would interact with computers that *are* 
domain members, and I don't have time to test it right now, so any input 
would be welcome.
