[TYPO3-dev] Merge Extensions

Hi!

I've got a rather difficult problem, maybe one of you guys can help me:

ws_banner is an old extension by Luke Chiam who tranferred it to me as he 
isn't interested in TYPO3 things anymore. At this time I didn't want to 
touch ws_banner more than necessary and therefore extended it with 
wm_wsbannerplus (2 new columns in table tx_wsbanner_banner, one additional 
plugin).

For different reasons I want to merge the two extensions and maintain and 
ectend them under the name wm_wsbannerplus. I' really good on the way and 
everythin works fine even if I deinstall ws_banner but i'm afraid that 
deletion of ws_banner will not work because:
a) wm_wsbannerplus 2.0.0 uses uploads/ws_banner (all the images are stored 
there)
b) data are still sored in tx_wsbanner_banner

Shure, nor problem to change that manually but it would be more than nice 
(also for the guys who are using ws_banner / wm_wsbannerplus) when this 
would be done "automatically" during installation. And this should be true 
for first time installations too ...

Any suggestions what to do?

Best
Manfred
