[FLOW3-general] Same variable in every template

[Martin Lipp]

Hi,

i tried this, but assigning variables to templates from the 
initializeAction() seems not to work. I get a blank page (but no errors, 
I'm in dev context) as soon as i add a simple 
$this->view->assign('test', 3); to any initializeAction().
