there is a way

you need to activate the possiblily to of installing extension on global
mode, once you will have done so, every extension you will  install as a
global extension will be install directely in your sources in a folder
named typo3_src-4.2.1/typo3/ext. so each extension you will install global
will bee in every other typo3 linked to this source like indexed_search or
any other sysext

Please check in the install tool. There is somewhere you can enable 
 yourself intsall extension golbally. Go to All configuration and look for
 [EXT][allowGlobalInstall]. Set it to 1. That's it.

from that point you will be able to select the king of upload you wont to do
global or local
