Hmm - Can you give me some examples?

Hehe - Obviously too busy having fun with alpha blending code to
worry about a "make install" target.

I promise I'll have it in the next build (prob. later today)

Yeah - I'm considering having the splash screen "hold" until a keypress.
I need to add credits to it, too.

*cough*  Too lazy to pull down the "Format" menu in XV when I save

I'm going to redo the Tux Paint page on my site so that it looks more
like the rest of the site, and will put some new screenshots up...
