Most differences appear because there are tables or fields which are for
"internal use" and not really editeable through TCEforms or even not
passing through TCEmain, meaning there is no need to have them in TCA.

This includes the new caching-tables etc. Maybe we need to be able to
flag certain tables as "valid tables without TCA information", so that
these are not pollute this TCA comparision.
