So we would drop the benefit of being platform independent.

typo3.sunsite.dk?
I have to admit that I have no idea what autoconf is and what it could 
be used for.
Maybe you could clear things up for me by writing down a reasonable 
scenario?

The only thing where Typo3 Installs differ from each other are 
localconf.php settings.

We have a small PHP script where I enter the domain name of a Website 
and its name, a password and hit "generate" in a browser.
In background the script acts as follows:
- Generate directory on the server
- untar selected typo3 version source
- untar selected typo3 dummy site
- mv "dummy-[TYPO3-VERSION] "www" (cause our install dir is called www)
- deletes all symlinks and sets them differently (since I don't like 
Stucki's way of setting them, sorry pal ;-))
- Install database
- Delete Admin User
- Generate Admin users for everybody in our company
- Setting IM paths right in localconf.php
- setting certain parameters (like doNotCheckReferer or devIPMask)

Then I have to set up the new domain in the DNS and set up the apache 
vhosts file, reload apache and I can log into a generalized, standarized 
typo3 website

Something like this?
