Implement a new Welcome Screen page according to this ui specification: http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/hi/promoG/welcome.html
the new welcome screen is in contrib/StartPage. it's a stand-alone netbeans module that replaces the old Welcome screen. the current status is that it is almost finished, the only outstanding issues are minor graphics improvements and web link and blogs setup.
the code is now integrated both in trunk and release55 branch
This is done I guess
