Description

Problem:
"INSTALL SCRIPT EDIT POINT TOKEN" limits the range in localconf.php which is handled by class t3lib_install. Configuration ABOVE this token is not touched by the t3lib_install.

In some deployment cases it is useful to have some configuration BELOW this range, which is also not touched by t3lib_install. (e.g. to override config before extensions are loaded).
Details and use cases have already been discussed in TYPO3-dev newsgroup: http://lists.typo3.org/pipermail/typo3-dev/2010-October/041857.html

Solution:
Add handling of an end token, which limits the editable range of class t3lib_install.

I tested this successfully with introduction package.

Since introduction package does not completely use the API of t3lib_install, I added a second patch to preserve compatibility.

We could also think about adding this end token in localconf.php of dummy and introduction package

P.S. Please don't blame me for the smelly code. t3lib_install is a hassle. :)

Example localconf.php:

// lines untouched by t3lib_install
...

INSTALL SCRIPT EDIT POINT TOKEN - all lines after this points may be changed by the install script!'

// lines touched by t3lib_install
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['im_version_5'] = 1;
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['gdlib'] = 1;
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['TTFdpi'] = 72
// Updated by ...

INSTALL SCRIPT EDIT END POINT TOKEN - all lines before this points may be changed by the install script!
// lines untouched by t3lib_install
...
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['TTFdpi'] =96

Is there a way to see in the Install Tool, that some settings (in your example $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['TTFdpi']) will be overwritten with unchangable values?
If there is none, people might think that writing to localconf does not work correctly...

@Steffen: please note that I added a relationship to a change that will committed soon.

@Christopher: this could be the opportunity to add a flash message with the reason why a setting was not updated once you click the update button.

We will need that to setup a "best practice" deployment setup with server/envoirment specific localconf configurations. E.g. different database credentials for the staging and live system.
