[TYPO3-dev] removing items from flexform selectfield

yay, found a way to solve the issue. I was able to use a hook in 
TCEforms->getSingleField_SW (hook: getSingleField_beforeRender) to set 
the needed pageTS/userTS for the flexform fields. But unfortunately 
XPATH didn't work out as the TSparser of TYPO3 doesn't seem to like / or 
\ in TS keys - so I used the tradition dot-syntax to build up the paths:

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.sDEF.fieldName.removeItems = foo,bar

for now it doesn't support different types/plugins - but the way it's 
working is enough for me ATM.
