[add-art dev] splash screen // greasemonkey "library"

[Matt Katz]

Yeah - we've got that bit working.

Actually this is something that would be a really big help from all the
folks on the add-art mailing list.  Can you folks check out the branch
called versionsplah?  Build it using either the compile.sh in there or the
build.bat and install it - do you get a tab opening up pointing to
add-art.org?

Let us know what you get - steve was having problems with it, it worked on
my machine and it worked on a random mac in the eyebeam lab.

Thanks all!
