[mojosetup] MojoSetup and splash image

[Ole Jacob]

Hi,

Great work and thanks for the feedback.

Tried the splash screen feature, but I'm unable to get it working in my own 
installer. I'm able to get it working using the DN example.

As far as I can see there are no errors whatsoever in the config.lua file. I'm 
using the same mojosetup executable (compiled with bmp support), and also use 
the example image splash.bmp in both.

I've attached my config.lua.

Regards,
Ole Jacob
