Odd, that you need a new hook for config processing. Real URL doesn't
need it.

One note to the hook: in tslib_fe you state that config processing is
the point. Yet you pass only the parent object to the params array,
which issn't necessary as it's passed along as second parameter anyway.
I suggest you pass a reference to the conf array of the parent instead
of the parent.

No, this has to go. Config does not allow subkeys as it will be merged
with page.config (but not recursively).

And please don't use "private", make it "proteced", so our XCLASS happy
users stay happy.
