my bos uses always PHP 4 in his own server

Is that really needed?

Anyway if you do something like this

			// start page
		$this->content = $start;
			// generate main content
		if($Typo3_4_2) {
		 
$this->doc->setModuleTemplate(t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath('tm_tvpagemodule').'htmlTemplates/tv_layout.html');
			$pageinfo = t3lib_BEfunc::readPageAccess($this->id, $this->perms_clause);
			$this->markers['CSH']=$docheaderButtons['csh'];
			$this->markers['CONTENT']=$body;
			$this->content.= $this->doc->moduleBody($pageinfo, $docHeaderButtons, 
$this->markers);
		}
		else	$this->content .= $body;
			// end page
		$this->content .= $this->doc->endPage();
you can do modules so, that the layout use docheader or not.
Just make conditional such $body .=..., which you would use markers in 
Typo3 4.2 - works well in my evaluation version of tm_tvpagemodule, 
which is both compatible with Typo3 4.0-4.1 and Typo3 4.2.
