Ah, after cvsupping and updating my tree I saw you committed it compressed.
Duh. But my question still stands: how neat (and how doable) would it be
for the splash loaders to be able to read gzipped bitmaps?

Read kern/imgact_gzip.c, and boot/i386/kgzldr/boot.c for information on how this can be achieved, if wanted.
