Hej Kasper, hi list.

Great.

This is what I coded today in SC_mod_tools_em_index:
 installExtension($extKey,$version=null,$mode=EM_INSTALL_VERSION_MIN) 

For $mode use the three constants EM_INSTALL_VERSION_MIN, 
EM_INSTALL_VERSION_MAX, EM_INSTALL_VERSION_STRICT

I am not fully satisfied[1], but I think the "API" (if one method is an API) 
will stay that way. What my code doesn't do yet is resolving dependencies (so 
all required extensions have to be requested explicitly), and it will force 
any needed DB updates without asking.

Because I moved the class out of index.php the patch below isn't the real 
thing. The attached PHP files will be the stuff that eventually goes to CVS, 
the patch is only to show the changed stuff inside the class.

Comments welcome, if it is understandable at all...

[1] A lot of things in the EM code require user interaction, which makes 
reusing stuff harder than it should be. It is clear that (much) more 
refactoring is needed after 4.0.0 is released.
