Chakra GNU/Linux initscripts extras and supplemental functions for Fbsplash
 aka initscripts-extras-fbsplash

Changelog

 1.0    First mature version (destilled from experimental releases below)
 1.0.1  Implemented a fixed splash_setup() to avoid breaking variables
        Added console stat_busy messages when starting/stopping Fbsplash
        Don't run if not splash silent or verbose set on the kernel line
 1.1    Renamed 'fbsplash' daemon script to 'fbcondecor' to avoid confusion
        Improved the test script
        Streamlined the code
 1.1.1  Use decipercent for fsck progress and paint once per second
 1.2    Provide initscripts services derived from stat_busy messages
        More fine-grained and steady progress
        Also support rc.local/rc.local.shutdown service
        Code refactoring - splash-functions.sh merely used for fbcondecor
        Gain speed by exporting only functions essential for theme hooks
        Avoid gpm garbling the splash even on shutdown
        Set SPLASH_EFFECTS from the kernel line
        Moved bare minimum scripts out to package 'fbsplash-scripts'
 1.2.1  Allways stay on silent splash screen on exit on SPLASH_XSERVICE
        Keep the in-RAM FS until end of initscript
        Don't defere start on shutdown until Xorg stopped
        Skip backgrounded 'daemons' when writing svclist
        Fix svclist 'daemons' order on shutdown
 1.2.2  Just cleaned up the test/simulation script code
 1.2.3  Fix slow background daemons killed because of additional ESC(K
 1.2.4  Don't activate the splash again when entering multi-user mode
 1.2.5  Fix fsck error behaviour
        Support fsck progress on shutdown and for loop filesystems
 1.2.6  Avoid delayed fsck progress messages, revert decipercent usage
