So I think the universal correct version for .htaccess file located in 
the web root would be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule   ^typo3$ /typo3/index_re.php        [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule   ^[^/]*\.(html|pdf)$  /index.php

- the backend rule is on first place and is the last one if it affects, 
so we don't spend much resources for further conditions
- both rules are with an appended slash, so it works on windows and all 
linux configurations (I hope)
- if an HTML or PDF file does not exist, the index.php is launched.
    don't know about pdf - it is a not "official" extension, so it could 
be done also without it, like the old way.
