Dennis, receive a HUGE thanks for your work!!! You write fantastic code! 
This was my second ExtJs extension. My first extension did set extJs 
code programatically from the controller, which resulted in 1200+ lines 
of code of the controller and a huge mess. As a contrast, my second 
extension's index.html is 25 lines long.
However my changes are nothing special, I have justed added support for 
properties that I needed.

I'll try to figure out how to do it over weekend. I never was into such 
team work...

You definitly should do so, as many people have not even heard of your 
magic viewhelper stuff, including me, just by an accident I have spotted 
your branch at forge.


Cheers,
