I volunteer to test splash/icons support one more time and update the docs 
where it is required.

* The old documentation refers to PG Build. Cordova implementation is based on 
this idea, but there are some differences, for example we don't support gap: 
prefix and platform attribute, platform specific icons must be placed inside 
corresponding <platform name=''> element
* We updated icons related docs as part of Cordova icons support 
implementation, I will double check that it is still accurate (for example I 
see that it mentions platform attribute which is not supported)
* We should update splash screen related docs part (as per our implementation + 
examples)
* Splash screen plugin and splash screen images support are related but 
different features. Core splash screen support by CLI allows replacing default 
template images which are showed automatically, where the plugin works on top 
of this and allows programmatically show/hide splash screen (pls correct me if 
I'm wrong).

Thx!

Subject: recent tools update, Splash screen support

I'm a bit behind on the recent tooling update so forgive me if this is a dumb 
question. The very first item listed is:

Support for splash screens

Which is odd since I thought splash screens had been available for some time 
now. We've had an API to hide show them. We've also had documented ways to 
include them for a while - 
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.4.0/config_ref_images.md.html#Icons%20and%20Splash%20Screens

Going into the details in the blog post we see:

CB-3571, CB-2606 support for splashscreens

Ok, so CB-2606 is "Add support for <icon> elements in config.xml". If it 
relates to this update, I don't see how, and the blog post doesn't say how it 
does. 

CB-3571 is definitely better: "Add support for <splash> elements in 
config.xml". But this isn't documented here:

http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/config_ref_images.md.html#Icons%20and%20Splash%20Screens

nor here:

http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/config_ref_index.md.html#The%20config.xml%20File

So while I can guess there is a new <splash> option for config.xml, where would 
our users get the specifics?
