Ok, sorry I didn't knew that. In that case you can of course remove that
"feature". But please add this description somewhere to the commit text
or create a separate patch for it. So that everybody can understand why
it was removed (also in the future).

I just took a second look at your patch and saw that you've added the
option to the "Usage text". This should be enough. Sorry that I didn't
see it the first time! :-(

Unfortunately there is no "real" documentation for psplash AFAIK...

Thanks.


Furthermore please add yourself to the AUTHORS file and add a short
description to the ChangeLog when re-sending the patch(es).

Thank you!

Richard
