[Typo3-linux] Changing location of localconf.php and install tool issue

Hi Francesco,

having a "fake localconf.php" isn't supported by the install tool (yet).

Use it as what its name suggest: a helper tool to adjust the configuration
during install. After having set up your webspace according to your needs
and server abilities move the contents of localconf.php out of the document
root.

If you want to finetune some settings manually you could clean up and
reorganize your configuration array afterwards.

But keep in mind that the extension manager will try to change
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["EXT"]["extList"] and perhaps has to add some entries to
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["EXT"]["extConf"] when you're installing extensions! I
didn't try it yet but it might be safer to keep these configurations in
their original place!

Regards
Thorsten
