[html-formfu] FormFu::ExtJS

[Moritz Onken]

Hi Mario,

I was working on a Label element. It is currently avaiable from the  
formfu repository.
I think it does exactly what you want.

Carl didn't like the implementation much but this could be fixed. I'd  
rather
see that Label makes it to FormFu than NotAField to ExtJS :-)
