[TYPO3-english] New TYPO3 site

[Dan Osipov]

The choice was mainly for the flexibility of TYPO3 core, and not 
necessarily tt_news. We did modify tt_news to get better performance out 
of it, and I described my changes in the blog:

We also used a combination of ttnewscache & ttnewscache_clearlike to 
minimize cache clearing when new stories are posted (which happens quite 
often).
