You know that there is $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['loginNews'] that takes 
date, header and content, i.e.
	array(
		array(
				'date'=>$_EXTCONF['date'],
				'header'=>$_EXTCONF['header'],
				'content'=>$_EXTCONF['content'],
		)
	);

So it's pretty easy to fill that with information. Ok the layout is 
limited. BUT....
