There is a minor bug in the referred changeset. You assume that if we
have TSconfig as an array, we also have TSconfig['config'] as an array.
I had no "config." setting in my PageTS, thus I got warnings about
trying to make a foreach over NULL. Attached patch should fix that.

If you agree that this is correct, could you please commit that change
and post a FYI here?

Cheers,
Ernesto
