While this is true...

This is not correct :(

I have checked the code and I have also tested it. The correct paths
are (like you said):

cp config/bootloaders/isolinux/splash.svg binary/isolinux/

sed -i  -e "s|@PROJECT@|LilyDev|" \
           -e  "s|@VERSION@|3.0|" \
            binary/isolinux/splash.svg

rsvg-convert --format png --height 480 --width 640
binary/isolinux/splash.svg -o binary/isolinux/splash.png

rm -f binary/isolinux/splash.svg

Sorry for my mistake. I had not tried it and I misread the code of
binary_hooks which says, in line 52 "cd binary" but this is for the
other hooks, not for the local ones.

Again, it was my bad. But I'm glad that my mistake made me test it to
confirm that it will work now.

Have fun :)
