[TYPO3-core] Fixing no-brainers?

Hi Martin,

4.0 is the main version, 4.0.0 was the first release of it. 4.0.1 can be an 
updated version that contains a few bugfixes.

We well see how urgent things are. Personally I have no problems with 
releasing a minor upgrade soon...

ACK.

Should be ok, yes.

Of course it can be done if just somebody takes responsibility for it...(?)

PS: As soon as CVS is merged back into HEAD, you have to be aware that all 
bugfixes have to be applied twice again...
