Search Engine Friendly URLs in Joomla

Fantastico De Luxe no longer enables Search Engine Friendly URL's in Joomla by default.

HOW-TO enable Search Engine Friendly URL's in Joomla
1) Go to Joomla Control Panel -> Global Configuration -> SEO (tab)
2) Set Search Engine Friendly URLs to Yes
3) Open the file .htaccess (in the root)
4) Uncomment the following lines:
Line #51: Options FollowSymLinks
Line #56: RewriteEngine On
Line #71: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
Line #72: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Line #74: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
Line #75: RewriteRule ^(content/|component/) index.php

Is there is anything I can do to solve this?
You can make a petition at Joomla to change their coding style (to use non-.htaccess method).
