Fancy splash screen for compiled .exe GUIs

Now you can display a fancy, real splash screen instead of the boring command window while your compiled GUI is starting up. You can modify the appearance of the splash screen easily by exchanging a bitmap file.
You have to add one single line of code in your GUI .m file before compiling it:

function MyNiceGUI_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
disp('GUIstarted');
