Thanks for the great patches. Since they depend on some build system changes,
I'll commit them as soon as the tree is open again. 
bsmedberg, could you double check the build part?

This could be more readable: ifneq (,$(filter gtk2 qt,$(MOZ_WIDGET_TOOLKIT)))

Can I just suggest that splash screens suck? I'm not going to strenuously
object here, but the new toolkit isn't going to support them; they're a pain,
and the ones we provide look awful.

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
