How about a very simple and not so XML-h4x04-kewl idea - distribute
the extension list as a CSV file, insert/replace the file contents
into a MySQL table and query the table when we need to search for
something?

I mean come on - we store 20 pages as database records and this is
adequate and normal but a set of 1000+ items needs to be an in-memory
array?
