I did this based on the tt_news extension.
About the constant thing, you can setup extensions this way and retrieve 
the values from $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf']['ExtKeyname'].
So this I have tested, and works fine.

But there are other problems to take into account which I can't solve.
The main problem is that in the file where I want to switch the views in 
tstemplate on and off (in ext_tables.php of the different views), it's 
impossible to know if the logged in be-user is admin.

So it's more complicated. Don't know how complicated though, - probably 
too complicated that it will not make it to the core.

So I think I instead will go for a separation of Constant Editor.
