Come on, a quick look should have told you where the TS has gone. ;)
I remember also this topic has been on one of the lists recently.

Afaik the kickstarter uses a deprecated method to add the "Static
TypoScript code". I think Kickstarter creates the file
EXT/ext_typoscript_setup.txt or similar, which then gets included by
TYPO3 by default(at least it had been that way in earlier versions).

Prefered way imho is to rather use a snippet like this:

// Add to: "Include static file from Extension"
t3lib_extMgm::addStaticFile($_EXTKEY,'static/example/','example
Typoscript Config I');

Be aware to only set this on a path, not a single file! A file
'setup.txt' should be present in that path.

This way the TS-Template can(and needs to) be enabled in the template in
the "include static from extension" selectbox. Also it is easy to
provide different TS-Setups. See EXT:tt_news for example.

In any case remeber to clear caches if you change any of those files!

HtH,
Peter
