Why would you want to do that? Unix  philosophy  is  *not*  enforcing
users  to  to  certain  things,  but let users decide what's good for
them.

The current code uses LOGO_BMP and defines a default value for it
(logos/denx.bmp); it gives the user the freedom to overwrite this
default.  This is a good thing.

I don't want to lose  that  freedom,  especially  not  when  the  new
situation brings no advantages.
