[TYPO3-v4] Use the backend module dispatcher (mod.php) for all core modules?

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a reason that some (old) backend modules in TYPO3
core still do not use the module dispatcher but instead are called directly.

Find attached a patch wich does the "conversion" for the list module.
It should not be difficult to also cover the rest of the modules and I
can take care of doing so, if there are no objections.

Btw. It's also easily possible to keep the backwards comptibility if
needed by redirecting to the dispatcher if the modules are called directly.

IMHO it would have big advantages to have a central entry point for all
modules, one of them is mitigating the BACK_PATH mess.

Note to the patch:
It introduces a new index.php for the list module, for the ease of
reading the patch and beeing able to apply it easily. If the patch would
be commited to the core, then the old db_list.php should be SVN renamed
to index.php instead.
