[TYPO3-ect] Smarty: Which configuration to set?

[Simon Tuck]

Hello Smarty Fans,
I've just updated the smarty extension (quite a few bugfixes included) 
and added a demo extension (smarty_demo) which should illustrate many of 
the features of the smarty extension and serve as a kind of test 
extension for smarty. So pls. give it a spin when you have a moment and 
let me know if you run into any problems.
Cheers,
Simon
PS. I have tried to set the previous extension (rtp_smarty) to obsolete 
in the ter, but it doesn't seem to work - is there anything special i 
need to do?
