IMHO a checksum for the PHP file could be introduced and stored in the
database with logging and also another file. A warning could be sent to
the admin, if the checksum of the PHP file has become invalid. This is
done already in the EM with the extensions files. So only a TYPO3
backend admin could install new extensions and reset the checksum
automatically.
