[TYPO3-commerce] current state of commerce and next steps

[Ingo Schmitt]

Hi Pascal,

the current version works with 4.2 and 4.1, but depending on the version 
you are working with, you need ether graytree 0.1.x (for 4.1 and below) 
or graytree 0.2.x for TYPO3 4.2.x, since graytree is only availiabe for 
pre 4.2 and after 4.2.
