We currently have these backend modules registered:

about/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
aboutmodules/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = '../../../alt_intro.php';
belog/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='_DISPATCH';
beuser/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='_DISPATCH';
cms/layout/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='db_layout.php';
cshmanual/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = $BACK_PATH . 'view_help.php';
dbal/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = '_DISPATCH';
em/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
filelist/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='file_list.php';
func/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
indexed_search/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
info/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
install/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script']=$BACK_PATH.'install/index.php';
list/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='db_list.php';
lowlevel/config/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
lowlevel/dbint/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
opendocs/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = $BACK_PATH.'alt_doc.php';
perm/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
recycler/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='_DISPATCH';
reports/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = '_DISPATCH';
scheduler/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = '_DISPATCH';
setup/mod/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = 'index.php';
taskcenter/task/conf.php:       $MCONF['script']='_DISPATCH';
tsconfig_help/mod1/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
tstemplate/ts/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='index.php';
version/cm1/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = 'index.php';
version/ws/conf.php:$MCONF['script'] = 'index.php';
viewpage/view/conf.php:$MCONF['script']='frameset.php';

You see, some were already converted to _DISPATCH. The rest will be
converted step by step, like in #15686 (list). You can also see in that
list that some modules use filenames other than "index.php". So this
addition just allows that and thus keep the current filenames for our
backend modules.

Thinking more about that, I am also not that convinced if we need that
hack. It would be cleaner to just rename the files to "index.php", isn't it?

Cheers,
