An awesome OCaml splashscreen

Dear OCaml community,

It occurred to me that while I was waiting for a new opam install, or
a rebuild of all my switches, or a rebuild of the compiler and the
hundreds of OCaml libraries there was little to no visual indication
of the time remaining, or a cue of when the process is over, so that I
can rush back from the coffee machine.

I have taken upon myself to write a splash-screen, inspired from one
of the most pervasive technology ever, and the battle-tested,
future-proof, safety-first, Graphics library. It also has some
industry-strength facts about our favourite programming language.

I hope to include this awesome splash screen wherever you’re not busy
waiting for the task at hand.
