[TYPO3] vbulletin & typo3 integration

[Herbert Roider]

Hi Antonio,

I was developing a extension: hr_vbulletin_connect, 
it is still experimental at the moment, but should work.

With the extension hr_vbulletin_connect you can run only one VBulletin, not
three.

For hr_vbulletin_connect I installed it in a folder "forums" in the typo3
root folder.

You can it install anywhere on the same server, but this was not tested.

No, vBulletin can have it's own database.

vbulletin_connect use vBulletin as master system for frontend users. It is
maybe better if you want to extend the vBulletin (already running system)
with typo3.
