Hi Olly,

as long as the table names keep the rules, the whole extension key is in
the second part of the name:

tx_myextension_data   could be   my_extension.

So what do you need to do? Compare the second part to each member of the
list $TYPO3_CONF_VARS[EXT]. You need to strip the underscores of the keeys
for comparism. Then you have the key.

The comparism itself should be secure. Nobody can register
"mysuper_extension" if "my_superextension" is already registered. I have
provided in a patch for TER to prohibit such "double" registrations. As
far as I know Robert has implemented it.

Regards
