We've already read Kaspers comments on why this has to be done in
localconf.php.

I have noticed that most RealURL configs are the same or almost the same.

What I have done is create a new extention which includes a
ext_localconf.php that configures RealURL. The advantage is that I can
install that without having to twidle in the main localconf.php, and I
have some settings that can be done through ext_conf_template.txt which
will then be regarded in the RealURL settings (e.g. if the site is
multilanguage, which languages, if tt_news is installed, which pid for
single-news, etc).

But the best would be: have RealURL provide a basic/standard
configuration already and have each extention which provide views based
on parameters provide its own RealURL configuration snipped (e.g.
tt_news could set
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT']['postVarSets']['_DEFAULT'][]['article']
 if the admin ticks a checkbox on tt_news installation).

If interesting, I could provide my current configuration masks that
works for RealURL, multilanguage sites and tt_news, maybe they can be
included in future RealURL/tt_news versions?
