[TYPO3-english] Use DAM categories for tt_news

[Dan Osipov]

Take a look at the hooks:
processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray
processDatamap_afterDatabaseOperations

Unfortunately, any help beyond this would require a chapter... Look for 
documentation, or pick up a TYPO3 extension development book. Let me 
know if you're still unsucessful.
