[TYPO3-commerce] Confirm order before payment

[Rik Willems]

Hi Ralf,

Yeah that is too bad. But that is why it is called 'Lite' I guess. You 
can also get a 'Professional' edition that offers more.

I copied a small part of the finishing function that adds the order to 
db and sends the mails. This is now done before when a customers 
continues to payment, after the listing. It also has a small piece of 
code that disables the db write and mails in the finishing page. When a 
user chooses prepayment it all functions as normally.

I hope that is clear. Let me know if it's not!

Greets, Rik
