-ABOUT GLOBAL EXTENSIONS:
-Starting with version 4.0 of TYPO3 the directory typo3/ext/ is considered locally composed and maintained.
-This means you can put a custom collection of extensions here which you will have to maintain independently of TYPO3core.
-Some of the old global extensions have been moved to be system extensions for your convenience.
-Notice that individual extensions might infact have their own CVS/SVN project somewhere, like on
-SourceForge.net, project "TYPO3 Extension Development Platform" (typo3xdev).

-IMPORTANT POST-CHECKLIST:
-Follow this list IMMEDIATELY after updating sources from SVN (both core and extensions):
-- Update database: In the Install Tool, click "COMPARE" for "Update required tables" in "Database Analysis" section. You might dump the static tables as well, but less likely to be important
-- "Clear temp_CACHED" files from "typo3conf/" of your sites
-- "Clear All Cache"
-- Using PHP-accelerator or other PHP cache? If you fatal PHP-errors, always remove the cached files (eg. "/tmp/phpa_*"), restart Apache and try again.
-(Hint: Take a look at "misc/superadmin.php" script which will greatly help you to maintain multiple TYPO3 installations when updating)
