[TYPO3-ttnews] How to get rid of "Article" in realURL-PostvarSets?

Actually, it's possible to use fixedPostVars instead of postVarSets and
then realurl doesn't need the 'article' keyword.

Sample URLs:
------------
http://www.mydomain.com/page_name/article_title/ - single view
http://www.mydomain.com/page_name/number/ - list/latest view with page
numbers

Sample config (localconf.php):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// RealURL - fixedPostVars settings for tt-news
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT'] = array(

  // ... other directives...

  'fixedPostVars' => array(
    'news' => array(
      array(
        'GETvar' => 'tx_ttnews[pointer]',
        'valueMap' => array(),
        'noMatch' => 'bypass',
      ),
      array(
        'GETvar' => 'tx_ttnews[tt_news]',
        'lookUpTable' => array(
          'table' => 'tt_news',
          'id_field' => 'uid',
          'alias_field' => 'title',
          'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted',
          'useUniqueCache' => 1,
          'useUniqueCache_conf' => array(
            'strtolower' => 1,
            'spaceCharacter' => '-',
          ),
          'languageGetVar' => 'L',
          'languageExceptionUids' => '',
          'languageField' => 'sys_language_uid',
          'transOrigPointerField' => 'l18n_parent',
          'autoUpdate' => 1,
          'expireDays' => 180,
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ),

  // ... other directives...

);

// RealURL - valueMap creation for tt-news
for($x=1; $x<=100; $x++) {
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT']['fixedPostVars']['news'][0]['valueMap'][$x+1]
= $x;
}

// RealURL - page definition for tt_news
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT']['fixedPostVars']['id_of_the_page_showing_news']
= 'news';
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Beware, it might not suit everybody's needs and it has some drawbacks:
- the articles cannot have a number from 1 to 100 as a title
- you have to add each page that displays news into localconf.php
- no backpid
