[TYPO3-dam-devel] Hard-coded reference to cc_devlog in class tx_dam_indexing

Hi,

Funny that you caught up on that topic just as I was discussing it with 
Steffen :-)

Actually I took the opportunity of discussing that with Michael (Stucki) 
last week to see if he had any good idea. He didn't, so we looked around 
all the global variables to see if we could find some fitting place 
(since none was really obvious). After some discussion we finally 
settled on this:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS']['GLOBAL']['debugData']['pid']

The rationale is that "SC_OPTIONS" are script options, so it's quite 
fitting for BE scripts. The next key is either the name of a specific 
script/class or "GLOBAL" if the target is more general. Lastly it seemed 
restrictive to just have a field like "devlogPid" or whatever, but 
rather propose an array called "debugData" where other information could 
be stuffed as needed.

I discussed this with Steffen because of his work on extended problem 
reporting, and although he didn't see an immediate use for this in his 
case, he thought the idea was ok.

What do you think?
