To save you some trial and error, use code like this is the 
ext_tables.php of an extension:

> t3lib_div::loadTCA("be_groups");

(look in the file typo3/sysext/cms/tbl_tt_content.php to see what 
structure you are changing)

We created an otherwise empty extension where we put changes like this 
to the default typo3 behavior.
