All is done via TCA "type" definition. I'll drop tx_extbase_type as 
convention. There is no additional TCA configuration option in Extbase 
1.1.0 anymore (like "foreign_class" and "loadingStrategy"). It's common 
TCA now. All configuration is done via php annotation or in the 
persistence configuration.
