[TYPO3-english] Use DAM categories for tt_news

[Rik Willems]

Hi Dan,

I was thinking of writing some stuff so one of the two extensions would 
select from the other categories table. But that would be a long shot I 
guess.

What you propose sounds like a very good solution. Sadly I have no clue 
about how to do such a thing. Can you perhaps give some directions?

Greets, Rik
