Currently the win32-loader.ini format is a bit cryptic if you're not familiar with the source. I'm not sure a proper spec would be useful, since the interface can be dynamicaly adjusted as needed (maybe even in a single commit, since they're in the same repository). Anyway, the whole thing is currently:

[installer]
user_interface=(graphical|text)
; Optional argument. Indicates the _only_ interface that this media provides. ; If ommitted, it means both are available. arch=(i386|amd64)
; Optional argument. Again, indicates the only architecture provided by this ; media. If ommitted, it means both are provided (Multi-arch). misc entries for different combinations of linux/initrd, text/gtk, i386/amd64

[live]
; optional section, same format as [installer]. this would allow mixed ; installer/live CDs to exist in the future

[grub]
; where grub images are in the CD

 What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
