Fetchable Files attribute:

  Provides a new attribute similar in spirit to mgmt_files, but
  with somewhat reversed meaning.

  foo=bar

  means "if the client requests file foo, give them file bar".

The use case is for supporting installing freebsd, where the pxeboot loader
does not do pxelinux.0-like customization of the name requested.  This allows
you to add an attribute like "boot/kernel/kernel=$kernel boot/mfsroot=$initrd"
to the profile, and then a future cobber-aware tftp server could transparently
provide the right file to the pxeboot loader
