good point! I never have seen a change here at all the sites i'm working 
on, but as you wrote it's possible. I have no problem write that to 
localconf.php, which leads to the question to the sense of extTables.php.

btw - i locally changed the value to $GLOBALS['varname'] for all, but i 
wait for the result of discussion here.
