[Typo3-dev] Make configuration simple

I very much agree!!
Another thing -but that might just be me in my ignorance- are the  
different places I can configure stuff at. Constants, TSconfig, template  
record...
I never had to use any of those except the template record, where I config  
pretty much everything.
I don't know how this should look, especially without losing flexibility,  
but maybe there could be one central location to setup all those things?

Maybe if there are certain things configured for one site only, or one  
page, we can do something like:
pagename.tx_someExtension.someConfigVar = something;

or

site1.page34.blabla.etc = bla;

The hardest part for me was to figure out what all those things are for,  
and now I never really use them.
What I saw the constants were used for mostly were style changes or  
something, but we can do those in TS, too, can we not?

Sorry if this really doesn't make much sense, I don't know too much about  
what goes on inside TYPO3, this is just the point of view of a user... :D
