+Splash.dll - small (4k), simple plugin that lets you throw 
+up a splash screen in NSIS installers.
+
+--- UPDATED in 2.0b0 - will break old scripts ---
+
+To use:
+
+Create a .BMP file of your splash screen.
+(optional) Create a .WAV file to play while your splash screen shows.
+
+Add the following lines to your .NSI file:
+
+Function .onInit
+  SetOutPath $TEMP
+  File /oname=spltmp.bmp "my_splash.bmp"
+
+; optional
+; File /oname=spltmp.wav "my_splashsound.wav"
+
+  splash::show 1000 $TEMP\spltmp
+
+  Pop $0 ; $0 has '1' if the user closed the splash screen early,
+	 ; '0' if everything closed normally, and '-1' if some error occurred.
+
+  Delete $TEMP\spltmp.bmp
+;  Delete $TEMP\spltmp.wav
+FunctionEnd
+
+Note that the first parameter to splash.exe is the length to show the
+screen for (in milliseconds), and the second is the splash bitmap filename (without
+the .bmp). The BMP file used will be this parameter.bmp, and the wave file used
+(if present) will be this parameter.wav.
+
+(If you already have an .onInit function, put that in it)
+
+Note: the return value of splash is 1 if the user closed the splash 
+screen early (pop it from the stack)
