[TYPO3-mvc] Instantiate extbase action controller inside tslib_fe hook

I think the idea to use a post-process hook for this is totally right.
However, I think it is not useful to feed these things inside a
Controller, as in your domain, there is no Model, no View, and IMHO as
well no Controller either.
If I have to solve such situations, I use an Extbase-extension /
directory layout as well, but I'd just create a simple class
"Tx_MyExtension_HTMLPostProcessor" for example, which lies in
"Classes/HTMLPostProcessor.php" and which is just a plain PHP class, and
this one can be called using standard TYPO3 hook mechanics.

So, the quintessence: Only use MVC when it makes sense, and do not try
to force every use case into "Model", "View" and "Controller".

I hope this helps a bit,
