in this particular case, we are talking about a MS Windows distribution (not my favourite platform; however, Emacs works really well with a few tweaks - many thanks to all developers who obviously put a lot of effort in to this!). The idea is to pre-package something that should work out-of-the-box in our setting (running a current Org-mode with some adaptions) and, indeed, apart from the splashscreen issue, we have reached our goal.

But I will keep your suggestion in mind for our Unix users - is this the setup for all flavours of Linux and Solaris for current Emacsen?

Warm regards,
 Stefan
