Hi Benni,

i absolutely agree. This is just a try to find a central point (from the 
sight of the user)
one thing in TYPO3 is, that configs are spreaded around a lot of places and 
for "usability" it would be nice to give them a central place.

I could make additional proposals for using the vars (e.g. take these from 
Installtool to this place), but first I'm interested in your opinion.
I'm ok with finding another place, css_styled_content seemed to me a good 
place because it's included in 99% of the sites, choosing different template 
must be ensured that it's included.

So see that as a start in this direction, not the fimal solution.
