[Open Office] Branding made easier

Hi,
I've created patches that make the branding easier for the distributors. From
now on, you can use --with-intro-bitmaps, --with-about-bitmaps, and
--with-vendor in your distro-configs/*.conf.in files in order to specify the
intro and about bitmaps, and the vendor name. The bitmaps you specify in the
--with-*-bitmaps will be copied to the solver & installed in <OOo>/program/.
You can specify more than one bitmap in the --with-*-bitmaps; then the order
means priority. Eg. when you specify
--with-intro-bitmaps="/path/to/first.bmp /another/path/second.bmp", first.bmp
will be used during OOo startup if exists. If not, second.bmp will be used.
If even that one does not exist, the OOo default bitmap will be used. This
is interesting for packagers that package OOo for several products.
From now on, your distro-config file should start with something like:
--with-intro-bitmaps=\"$SRCDIR/yourintro.bmp\"
--with-about-bitmaps=\"$SRCDIR/yourabout.bmp\"
--with-vendor=\"Your company\"
if you have your branding bitmaps in the src/ subdir. Please consult
distro-configs/SUSE*.conf.in if in doubt.
Please update your distro-configs & remove the *splash.diff accordingly:
ark-splash.diff
dropline-gnome-splash.diff
gentoo-splash.diff
mandriva-splash.diff
pld-splash.diff
qilinux-splash.diff
translate-org-za-splash.diff
ubuntu-splash.diff
I'd like you to get rid of the *-splash.diff soon; then we'll be able to avoid
copying the src/*.bmp to the OOo tree.
Thank you,
Jan
