[TYPO3-mvc] how to add a method to another repository?

[Stefano Cecere]

Hi Claus

your solution is what i was trying to do (injecting my query inside the 
news repository)
i could make everything work by my own subclass.. but now i'll convert 
to this.

PLEASE: have you an Amazon wishlist anywhere or something alike?
you are giving so many useful tips.. that i need to give you something 
back! :)
