Yes, this needs more discussion and a decision and an implementation, 
although this should probably be as easy as modifying TCA.

I'd volunteer to throw out static templates completely for 4.1, finally!

At the moment I'm coding the infrastructure (a small generic 
controller/view class that should ease development a lot) for the 
install tool, and I'll than try to extract the checks and methods from 
the old tool, without the output functions...

While we're at it: What is the current policy on branching from trunk 
for a limited time? I need to change a little more than just 
sysext/install and don't want to break the trunk while working on the 
install tool. On the other hand, using our svn would be nice for me and 
interested others...

Greetings,
Michael
