[Typo3-dev] TYPO3core autotools integration and doxygen

Actually it's not that easy. Have a look at typo3xdev/install_packages where
Ingmar and I have our script collection for doing these steps:
- Create symlinks
- Add some documentation (README.txt, etc.)
- Automatically create typo3conf/database.sql (great work, Ingmar!)
- Set permissions
- Create zips and tarballs

However this works quite well, so I see no need to move this procedure to
autoconf instead of improving the current script (which uses PHP which
makes it easy to use upstream TYPO3 classes!).

No answer yet?

The debs are (very old, btw) just a subdirectory called "debian" that needs
to be put into the TYPO3 source. However development has stopped and needs
to be reanimated first...
