the case with t3skin as example shows even a more complicate issue. If 
"not loaded in FE" t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded would return 0. It's called 
even if you only need the extPath. (the skin is only located in 
extension, no ext processing is needed)
But all TBE_STYLES declaration in t3skin is done with TYPO_MODE = BE, so 
even without the flag the var won't be filled (another issue why 
TBE_STYLES doesn't exist in FE context).
So introducing a var "doNotLoadInFE" need other behaviour of isLoaded as 
boolean isn't sufficient then, like
0 => not present
1 => present, but not loaded in this context
2 => present and loaded in this context
