[TYPO3-mvc] own extension library

[Daniel Dimitrov]

Hey Felix,
I placed an Utilities.php in Classes/Helper/ and then I used 
Tx_MyExt_Helper_Utilities::method()
and it worked like a charm! Thank you for this!

The next thing that bothers me: for the pagination I have written a small 
ViewHelper - I'm going to use this viewHelper
in most of my extensions. Is there any way to use my viewHelpers in other 
extensions, too? Or do I have to manually copy
them to the Classes/ViewHelper folder of all my extensions?

Kind Regards,
Daniel
