Re: [manifest] A means to control how long a splash screen should remain on screen. (#372)

I've built Windows apps in the past using HTML, and I like how it works there. The splashscreen is shown automatically while your app is loading, which usually takes less than a second. 

As soon as your app can paint, it does paint, but there's a built-in fullscreen Splashscreen template/control you can add to your page which has the exact same layout as the splash screen so, if you want, you can use it and hide it while you're actually ready.

In addition, you can display other stuff on top of it like a progress bar and the type of things you're actually waiting for (this is useful for games, for instance).
