Not sure if you're serious, but that'd reduce some of the functionality I was 
expecting to use.

My splashimage is stored in a particular, separate flash partition, and I'm 
intending to allow end-users to change the boot logo (via a userspace app ?) 
to customise / personalise the unit as they require (e.g. their own company logo).

Hard-coding the image would render this impossible.
