[TYPO3-dev] References to locallang.php files in core - needed anymore?

That should do no harm either. The labels point to no longer existing 
php files and when readLLfile is called with whatever/locallang.php, it 
strips .php and checks if whatever/locallang.xml exists. If not found, 
it checks whatever/locallang.php.

I am just suggesting to change the paths in the core files e.g. from 
locallang_tca.php to locallang_tca.xml, because that's were the labels 
are stored now.

If you have changed the tca in extTables.php or an extension so the 
label points to another file in your fileadmin or an extension, then 
this change would not affect you. If you use a core tca label pointing 
to whatever/locallang.php, then this change would also not affect you, 
because i have not modified readLLfile in it's behaviour towards that ;)

Andreas
