Any chance of updating the splash.bmp in the org.eclipse.platform plugin along with the 3.3 progress, possibly even with each milestone?

As I download and run several versions of Eclipse, for testing issues with previous versions and the like, it'd be nice to see the proper version displayed during startup.

I think "3.2" is just incorrect, as the code is all from the 3.3 stream.  I see how "3.3" could be misleading, as it is not yet "final".  Could it possibly be listed as "3.3M2" or whatever the (last/target ?) milestone is?  Or, if per-milestone is deemed too much work, maybe just something like "3.3 beta" until release status is achieved?

This could very easily relate to bug 154088, as if created and displayed with SWT, the version # could be easily and dynamically determined, without requiring a bitmap edit.

(For the moment, I've just manually edited the current splash bitmap, copying the "3" from "3.2" to create "3.3".  Not the best method, as it slightly interferes with the background gradient, but I don't know where the layered source for the image is - if it exists.)
