[Typo3] two questions concerning TMENU

So here we go ;-)

optionSplit can rotate the wraps for the items.
Everything inside the |*|-markers is repeated and rotated.

allWrap = |*|<td class="1">|</td>||<td class="2">|</td>||<td
class="3">|</td>||<td class="4">|</td>|*|

And then assign the bgimage_x to each class.
