True. Doesn't make sense to split these as it's not clearly separated in
TYPO3.

Might be an idea, yes. Unfortunately, I've seen some extensions referring to
images in typo3/ext/... which would not be accessible then.

Better set the die() command on top of typo3/index.php.

True. This should be site-installer functionality.

ACK.

100 points for Ingmar ;-)
I agree that we should not replace any backend functionality but we can try
to provide some of the Install Tool functionality...

>> - typo3-<extensions>

That's not helpful and too complicated anyway.
TYPO3 has it's own package system. We should not try to replace it.
