Bug #5490

update splash screen version without changing image

Description
Currently the SplashWindow displays an image with a hardcoded version number on it. This makes building an installer hard. Instead, put the version number in a configuration file, and draw the version text over the top of the base image. In this way the image itself will not need to change from version to version.
Completed in r28480. Added new image to common that uses the new Kepler logo, rearranged the splash screen, and added code to draw the version information on top of the image. The version information is stored in the common module configuration kepler.version, splash.image, and splash.versionLabel. Changing these for each release will change both the initial splash screen and the About dialog.
Once this is reviewed can close the bug. Derik needs to decide whether this will go into the 2.3 release or a future release.
This obsoletes the ant task that updates the image with version information, and which can now be reviewed and removed.
Ran out of time to evaluate this, punting to 2.4. (I did do a very quick look when it was first checked in and seems like I thought of a few other things that should be done before inclusion...but can't remember now).

This looks good to me. Thanks, Matt.
I removed the make-splash-screen ant target and associated files.
