[Typo3-dev] Frontend Forms Code Library

I didn't look at any of these extensions but your suggestion sounds
reasonable.

Was this really your only reason for writing the same again?!

The idea is interesting but it sounds like this will take a lot of time
before it can be used...

If you think the html_quickform fits our needs, what speaks against writing
such a wrapper for _this_ product before reinventing the wheel?
