Exactly. We'd just need a thin class that provides returnFieldJS() and 
evaluateFieldValue() and calls the respective Extbase validators - it 
would be nice, if one could pass additional parameters to the custom 
evaluator like 'eval' => array('class' => 'Tx_Foo_Bar', 'xyz' => 'baz') 
then we'd only need one adapter class.
