Good idea!

The following should be removed:

+		'conflicts' => array(
+			'realurl' => '0.0.0-0.0.0',
+			'cooluri' => '0.0.0-0.0.0'
+		),

Same for checkForUpdate in Install tool.
It is completely ok to have one domain in page tree with cooluri/realurl on one site and simulateStatic on another.

Also $_funcRef should be $funcRef.

One more wish... Feel free to ignore but most code uses $pObj for parent object reference. I though it may be good to use $pObj in the hook too.
