I answered my own question. It was one of those answers that stops you from falling asleep Saturday night at midnight so you get up at 1:00 am on Sunday and code until 4:30 am.
Here's the code which you can adapt for non-Ubuntu environments (using the "future code" functions):

Splash screen for mserve.
mserve has it's own list of required modules but this wrapper requires:
