I'm sorry, I don't know why my message appeared with "*' characters
everywhere, here it is again :

Hello Scott,

Compile your splash_qrc.py into a splash_qrc.pyc file, it will become very
small again.

Here is what I get on my current project :

File                  Size
Resources (png, jpg) : 124172
resources.qrc :          429
resources_rc.py :      373507
resources_rc.pyc :      89712

The only file that will really be loaded by python (pyc : 89712) is even
smaller than the sum of the original files (124172).
pyrcc is making my life a lot easier, I love it.

Cheers.
