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?

I closed my former PR #219, deleted my fork of cordova-docs, reforked, updated images.md, pushed and created another PR:

Which now only has one changed file.
