[TYPO3-mvc] Advanced configuration for RealUrl with Extbase

Uh, thanks a lot - that looks like a useful help,
unfortunately I don't understand the last few bits.
Or at least I have no clue how to get started on it.

Basically I'd be glad with just something like:
host/page/a-category/
host/page/a-category/a-product/

But then I lose the 'path', which is needed for rendering the correct
breadcrumbs/rootline and the shop-navigation etc.

So, a solution which puts the full category-path
into the URI would be really cool.

Still I'm not sure about the path segment 
"a-category+another-category+yet-another-category" and post-processing 
to add slashes.

I think I need to dig into RealUrl itself a bit deeper
to get a feeling for what's possible and for what I need
custom hooks/functions.

Thanks a lot so far,
Thomas
