That's mbootpack, which is in the unstable tree tools.misc directory, or at
http://www.tjd.phlegethon.org/software/#mbootpack
 
Probably easier to use (and not requiring preprocessing the images) is
my multiboot module for PXELINUX.  It's in the latest prerelease of
SYSLINUX, 3.08-pre11; see com32/modules/mboot.doc in the source tree.
