[TYPO3-ect] Import/Export und nachzuladende Exensions

Hi.

Let's see whether my email goes trough to the list. :)

Should be possible. This can be done in two ways.

1. The EM installs extensions that are needed automatically. But how does it 
know those need to be installed?

2. The impexp extension does this, by calling the EM and telling it to install 
extension XYZ. This is the easier/cleaner way.

So it seems this should be done by the maintainer of impexp, which I believe 
is Kasper still. We (Robert and I) need to make sure an extension can be 
installed easily from outside the EM.

What do we need? The T3D file must have a list of needed extensions (and 
optionally versions) that need to be installed, right?

@Robert:
So we need a method in the EM to install an extension
 installExtension($extkey [, $version])
where $version is an array
 $version = array('version' => 0.2.6,
                  'operator' => 'min|max|strict')
with operator being optional. If left out the latest version is installed. 
Comments?
