Well, that's another approach ;-)
Right now XCLASS is still the way to extend Classes in TYPO3, but, as 
you said, it's questionable if this HAS TO be part of the kickstarter.
But if it's only the automatic generation of that single line in 
ext_localconf.php or some other "minor" stuff it shouldn't be that 
dramatic. In this case the kickstarter could offer a list of classes to 
extend and simply add the appropriate XCLASS-definitions to the 
generated files, leaving the rest for the developer. As this is not very 
much and only saves a couple of minutes it's probably not worth to code 
it... unless Ingmar has some more sophisticated ideas regarding the issue.
What do other people think about this?

A list of (core-)hooks would be nice. How would you want to directly 
make use of a hook in the kickstarter (just place some example-calls in 
the code to see how it works?)?


Ciao,
