I like the idea, but just had a very short look into your patch. Please
check again your settings concerning spaces/tabs in your IDE.
Furthermore the modified TCA might have problems (search for ",media" in
your changes).

Why are the new TypoScript objects added to the static TypoScript for
compat-versions before 4.3? I think that that's not required, is it?

What does "own compilation" mean exactly?
