[Typo3] Getting piVars from a different plugin

[Steven Bagshaw]

Thanks Bernhard. I had thought of doing that, but was worried about
side-effects. But when I look into the Typo3 source, it doesn't look so
scary.

The approach works to pass the variables around. I will start modifying my
plugins to have the same prefix and will report here if any errors or
problems occur.

Thanks for your help.

Steven
