This seem like a good idea to me, and I suspect we should move all the
current usplash hooks into the /lib/init/splash-functions-base file if
we go this way, to make it easier for splasy and others to hook into
the boot system.

Anyone got a complete patch replacing the code in /etc/init.d/rc using
'type usplash_write' to decide what to do?  I suspect at least some
splash_progress is needed. :)
