from the gfxboot splash. Tested with live-cd 20051214.1

Fixed a while ago:

syslinux (3.11-2ubuntu5) dapper; urgency=low

  * Fix debian/applied-patches/localboot-gfxdone.diff filename.
  * debian/applied-patches/gfxboot-cpio-swab.diff: Make gfxboot check for
    byte-swapped cpio archives, so that it's easier to develop gfxboot
    themes on a powerpc system with qemu.
  * debian/applied-patches/localboot-gfxdone.diff: Call vgasetmode when
    switching back to text mode, to make sure that the screen gets cleared.
  * Makefile: Just export DATE and HEXDATE rather than playing with $(MAKE);
    current make applies an extra shell evaluation pass to the latter
    approach and so fails.
