-------------------------

As you can see the "latest" one is an exact copy of one of the other
options (v3u8).
In the above eg it isn't too bad but some of my other configs are a lot
bigger and contain multiple versions of multiple linux distros.

I would like to have something along the lines of:

LABEL latest
MENU LABEL ^Latest Release
CALL LABEL v3u8

This would allow me to easily maintain the latest version(s) in a list As i
would not have to update multiple lines of the config.

Regards,

Ryan McLean
