Hi!

Browsing through the unprocessed e-mail in my BibleTime inbox, I found
that we never got around to adding Laurent's splash screen to BibleTime.
So I decided to solve this issue regardless of losing an hour of my
sleep this night.

I basically removed the date-based mechanism of choosing the splash
screens and made BibleTime choose a splash screen at "random" every
time. Until somebody properly implements the algorithms to calculate
these dates, I suggest we leave the selection mechanism use rand().

Anyway, I added Laurent's splash screen to trunk :)

Blessings,
Jaak
