[TYPO3-english] Page in multiple menus - ACT and CUR state

[Daniel Huf]

So my solution should work.

I had the problem that the main menu is not created with pages from the 
same level...

so I create a sys_folder to generate my main menu only with shortcuts...

I didn't try with multilingual site, you might have to add some 
syslanguage-id or so.

Good luck,
Daniel
