I wouldn't add any extension specific code into t3lib. It has nothing to
to with ExtBase. I don't like even those existing parts of t3lib that
assume extension "cms" is present.

Anyway we're not talking about the EM with the UI but the *class*
t3lib_extMgm. The end user in this case is a developer who explicitly
wrote a plugin for ExtBase. As he does care he can be bothered to use an
ExtBase method to install his plugin in ext_localconf.php.

I have no problems - as I have said - with a hook that extends the
current plugin APIs.
