+          Shows splash image and progress bar on framebuffer device.
+          Can be used during boot phase of an embedded device. ~2kb.
+          Usage:
+          - use kernel option 'vga=xxx' or otherwise enable fb device.
+          - put somewhere the fbsplash.ini file and image in .ppm format.
+          - $ setsid fbsplash [params] &

+               -f path_of_fifo (can be "-" for stdin)
+          - if you want to run applet only in presence of kernel parameter:
+            grep -q "fbsplash=on" </proc/cmdline && setsid fbsplash [params] &
+          - commands for fifo:
+            "NN" (ASCII decimal number) - percentage to show on progress bar
+            "exit" (or just close fifo) - well you guessed it
