Heh, I did not forget I already (sort of) promised you to implement
this... :)

Exactly that is what I am waiting for: a good name, not in common use,
clearly indicating what is in that path. Sadly I must admit that "3rdparty"
isn't my favourite, but... I'll implement whatever you guys think is nice.

In another discussion there was even the idea to make that folder
configurable from within ext_emconf.php - how about that?

Still: Good idea.
