[TYPO3-v4] Workspaces update process with current trunk

It's actually worse than expected: the new "workspaces" extension 
requires "extbase". If that is not installed the wizard script will 
fail. So "extbase" should also be loaded by the wizard (which means more 
tables to create). The same should be done for "fluid", since it is used 
by "workspaces", although not necessary during the update process.

Shouldn't this update process be split up? There could be a first wizard 
which installs the "workspaces" extension and instructs users to perform 
a compare database operation and a second wizard that actually migrates 
the workspaces. The second wizard would be hidden (is that possible?) or 
at least disabled until the first wizard has been executed.

Cheers
