Yesterday, I have tested the mentioned solution in
http://forge.typo3.org/issues/7784

There are some glitches:
- The patch does not fully fit the master repo (ext_autoconf.php)
- Afaik invalid HTML (<link> tag inside <body> instead of <head>)
- Styling issues
- Directly writes HTML to stdout instead of returning it. So you cannot 
pipe it to t3lib_div::devLog() atm.

I seems it it only debugs models. I tested objects from other classes 
without success. If this is not supported, the names are misleading:
Tx_Extbase::var_dump()
Tx_Extbase_Error_Debugger::var_dump()

Either it should work on any object, or change names to something similar to
Tx_Extbase::model_dump()
Tx_Extbase_Error_Debugger::model_dump()

I have ported the patch to a separate extension to fill the gap between 
now and a final extbase solution:
http://www.t3node.com/fileadmin/user_upload/ext/T3X_ext_debug.t3x

Usage in controller:
Tx_ExtDebug::var_dump($yourModel);
die();
