You added the two new extensions to

     t3lib/config_default.php

in $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['extList'].

But in an installed setup, this is not relevant, because this setting is 
overwritten by an already installed typo3conf/localconf.php.

So if one upgrades from a working 4.2 (or previous), neither "about" nor 
"cshmanual" will be in the list of installed extensions, which means 
those entries will disappear from the modules menu after the switch of 
typo3_src to the newer version.

Cheers,
Ernesto
