I also think you will not get very many useful responses unless you
say what these 'hoops' /are/.

I admit that I don't actually understand what would be particularly
difficult about an automated TYPO3 installer--essentially, you have a
set group of files and directories to write at the initial install,
and a smaller set to overwrite at upgrade. System config information
is stored in a text file. These requirements are essentially identical
in outline with Drupal, Xaraya and many other web apps.

What is it about TYPO3 makes this process particularly demanding?
