GPE uses an svg a bootsplash:
http://gpe.linuxtogo.org/download/source/gpe-bootsplash-1.15.tar.gz

The code will take an svn or png and render that to the framebuffer, but it sadly still
uses svg-cairo.

BTW, cairo 1.4.10 keeps erroring out with messages about unsupported colour formats when
running on my AT91SAM9263 under X. BGR is a pain in this world where stuff is written for
32 bit RGB framebuffers on a x86 cpu :(
