Thanks Steffen,

I was aware of the rotation feature. What i was not aware is that the 
location was "overridable"  ;)

Quick recipe:

1. in typo3conf/extTables.php add:
$GLOBALS['TBE_STYLES']['loginBoxImage_rotationFolder'] = 
'../fileadmin/rotation/';

Note: The ".." are important and the trailing slash "/" at the end of 
the path too.

2. Be sure that typo3conf/localconf.php has also this line:
$typo_db_extTableDef_script = 'extTables.php';

I've add an entry to the Bugtracker for adding this feature in the 
installer:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6332

Thanks to Steffen on that one !
