If I just set in ext_tables.php
$GLOBALS['TBE_STYLES']['htmlTemplates']['templates/config.html'] = 
'../'.t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath('myplugin').'xxx';

that would not work in all circumstances

XCLASSed /mod1/index.php of templavoila (tm_tvpagemodule) use this hack

$this->doc->setModuleTemplate(t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath('tm_tvpagemodule').'htmlTemplates/tv_layout.html');
			if ($this->doc->moduleTemplate == '') {
				$this->doc->setModuleTemplate('../' . 
t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath('tm_tvpagemodule').'htmlTemplates/tv_layout.html');
			}

But I can't use that kind of hack in ext_tables.php

I know that setting module templates doesn't work always ok - I have bad 
experiences on it!
