$GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->setup['plugin.]['tx_myext_pi1.] is an array with configuration for plugin tx_myext_pi1. For example, if you have this TS:

plugin.tx_myext_pi1 = USER
plugin.tx_myext_pi1 {
	userFunc = whatever
	a {
		b = c
	}
}

You will have in setup:

array(
	'plugin.' => array(
		'tx_myext_pi1' => 'USER',
		'tx_myext_pi1.' => array(
			'userFunc' => 'whatever',
			'a.' => array(
				'b' => 'c'
			)
		)
	)
)

There is one "but" though. If plugin uses flexform configuration, this configuration may override TS settings.
