Yeah, I tried a lng time ago, and it was not easy. Hopefully, things
have changed since then, but that can indeed be left as an exercise for
the interested party! :-]

I'm not too fond of splahscreens in the bootloader anyway, so I won't
press for that. I really prefer to have a quick boot that gives me a
running kernel as fast as possible, so I can get access to the
framebuffer from userland, and splash an image early in the boot process
from userland. Bootloader-born splashscreen is for those that can't do
fast boot! Hehehe! :-]
