I had suggested that the application builder include a Splash Stack method that 
inserted a default splash stack, but allowed you to substitute your own in the 
process of building the app. The Splash Stack would become the default main 
stack for the projects and would be modified to call the actual mainstack 
before compilation. 

It was not received with much enthusiasm, but perhaps this would be the optimum 
solution. It could be an option you could turn off if you wanted but enabled by 
default.
