Well what's obvious is that the only reason you would want to disable 
the splash screen is to obscure the fact that POV-Ray is called and this 
it both unethical and illegal.

You can of course build a console version of POV-Ray that won't generate 
any graphical output.  You can also prevent the splash screen to turn up 
*every* time you invoke POV-Ray by using a GUI extension - QuietPOV 
shows how this can be done:
