it's true that other classes are instanced as well. Though no class use 
t3lib_extMgm::extPath('em') (the api still does, but i will change that, 
and index.php which is not needed at all) the only thing is needed is 
the ext_autoload of em. So with using this one we are independent from 
em being installed.

@Ernesto - i don't think moving this to t3lib is a good idea. It's a 
specialized API which is only em and should resist in em.

I only would like not to overcomplicate the install process, so after my 
change in API i would simply add the ext_autoload, and all classes can 
be found.
