[TYPO3-extension-coordination] Quickstart and testsite packages for TYPO3 4.0

I went ahead and made a first pass at creating the packages, then 
importing them on top of the dummy package.  For the most part, things 
worked correctly and I didn't run into any of the problems I mentioned 
earlier.

There are two issues that need a little more investigation.

1)  When running the import of Testsite on my local install, I bumped up 
against PHP's maximum_execution_time of 30 seconds.  Once I raised this 
limit, the import worked properly but if it affects many users its 
probably unreasonable to expect them to change this.

2)  There are several files in fileadmin and uploads that do not get 
included in the export process.  My guess is that these files are not 
referenced anywhere in the package but I haven't been able to confirm 
this for sure.  A diff between the testsite package and the dummy 
package with testsite imported is included at the end of this post.

I've also go two questions for Kasper and/or Robert about additional 
functionality that might make this process a little easier.

1)  Is it possible to automatically set the required extensions for a 
particular package?  I would assume this could be done fairly easily for 
frontend plugins and stuff but it may not be feasible for extensions 
that are not tied to a content element.

2)  Is the Import Wizard interface too complicated for someone who has 
never used TYPO3 before?  There are a lot of options there, and things 
like allowing writing of banned file extensions (php) must be set for an 
imported package to work properly.  Is it worthwhile to have some 
simplified interface where a first timer can import the package that 
they want?

If anyone would like the T3D files to test, just let me know.

Thanks,
Jeff
