[Splashy-devel] Proof of concept implementation of using lsb_end_msg

[Luis]

This is genius! If this works I think we can perhaps drop splashy-init
all together. I mean, it took a lot of time for Jacobo to write such a
genius script, but, I like the simplicity of using the lsb scripts to
do the job. Especially since LSB will be in every linux box out there.

As usual, we should keep splashy-init around, just like we have the
other old scripts (made by Goshawk and the members of the original
Splashy team). All those scripts have their own "niche" of people who
can use it for "inspirational" purposes and the like.

Keep up the good work Tim! I should be able to come back full force
starting on Saturday. It seems that there is a lot of stuff to
test/play/break now...
