Maybe using t3lib_div::getUserObj instead of t3lib_div::makeInstance
would make the trick and be less "bloated" (reimplementing the EXT:
handling once again). getUserObj already handles the EXT: prefix and
does the necessary require_once if needed.

Only caveat is that you cannot pass an argument to the constructor, but
maybe we could add support for it in getUserObj too?
