[TYPO3-english] Renaming an extension

[Robert Wildling]

To see the structure of an ext in kcikstarter, you need the 
wizard_form.dat and wizard_form.html files in the doc folder. If they 
are not there, you won't see anything. Unfortunately I don't know if 
those specific files can be regenreated...

Regards,
Robert
