[Typo3] Install tool and database name check

[Albert van der Veen]

Hello Mike,

Yes, I did the same, but it's not a very nice solution. First time users 
will probably not be able to do that and thus are not able to install typo 
at all. It should be a minor change in the code to allow '-' in the name.
