As soon as I have an example-app running I will let you know. Right now 
I already have symfony integrated and propel-access to all TYPO3-tables 
(autogenerated!). My idea is to automatically regenerate code when other 
extensions are installed/removed (and database-tables are added or 
modified). Should not be too difficult, either. One thing that is a 
little bit annoying is getting around symfony's own routing 
(url-rewriting), which comes in very handy in pure symfony-projects, but 
must be disabled for integration-purposes. Basically it is supposed to 
be very easy to disable routing, but obviuosly this feature is just not 
yet implemented.

Propel is just one part of symfony. Other interesting things are the 
helper classes, which allow for quick and easy GUI-design, and the 
simple but effective templating-mechanism. After all I can say that 
coding a project using symfony accelerates the whole development-process 
by a factor of 2 (compared to standard extension-development using pi_base).

Cheers,
