I hope that this is not the way you understand what I have been writing. 
Of course it should be possible to separate those two parts of the 
system. I just want what separates them to be something more trivial 
rather than 938427 lines of PHP-code.

One thing is interdependent modules another thing is modules using the 
same libraries. I hope it is clear that what I was writing for is the 
latter, not the first.

That - again - depends on what you intend to use the system for. I'd be 
really, really happy if someone provided me with a system equivalent 
with typo3s frontend plugins where I didn't have to worry about 
permissions. That would make my life a lot easier.

To go further into the details - if a slightly more generic permission 
system as the one used in the backend was available *as an option* to 
frontend developers, it would be really nice.
