[TYPO3-mvc] TYPO3 requires Fluid and Extbase?

[Dan Osipov]

Benni,

I posted some issues with the 1-2-3 installer in the 4.3 list on 5/30. I 
was planning to look into some of these, and see what could be done. Are 
you planning to completely rewrite the code, since I don't want to do 
double work? Feel free to contact me if you want to coordinate efforts.
