[TYPO3-install] Typo3 with simulateStatic in a subdirectory

[Levente J. Dobszay]

Hi Michael,

Maybe you didn't understand my question. I do not want to have Typo3 to be 
installed in my doc root with a couple of Typo3 subdirectories. This would 
be a very ugly kind of installation. I want to have clean directory 
structure and I want to hide my cms directory from my visitors. This should 
be standard for any serious cms. I hope Typo3 is such a cms. Please correct 
me, if I'm wrong.
