In 6.2 the dummy package is not needed/supported anymore. The installer 
can create the necessary directories and symlinks (no windows support 
(yet) for this) to end up with a fully functional installation.

In 6.2 it's possible to update the core (no windows support (yet)) from 
the Install Tool. It must be able to replace the symlink to the core 
folder to do so.

It's needed to be able to create the necessary directories and symlinks.

With typo3_src as a symlink to the actual directory with core files the 
Install Tool can perform a core update.
