[TYPO3-english] Renaming the typo3/ directory ... problems abound

[Christoph Stadler]

so i did a batch find and replace on the whole install folder with 
bbedit, just wildly replacing "typo3/" with "admin/" ... it changed 
stuff in 388 files (yes i know this is not such a good idea but it was 
worth a try to get a feel of how this goes)

the site seems to work without problems and the backend is all there and 
works normally over http://mysite.com/admin/ instead of 
http://mysite.com/typo3/

the only problem i have now is that the backend login page is messed up, 
login still works but it is completely out of shape, there is some CSS 
there but everything is cramped together in the top left corner of the 
page and it doesn't look anything like it should ... i also can't 
correct this with the extension chloginskin which i usually use ... and 
i can't really figure out where this is coming from

so it's not all bad but this is not a viable solution since there are 
changes now hardcoded in too many files to keep track of
