[html-formfu] FormFu::ExtJS

[Mario Minati]

Hi Moritz,

I looked at the label element and found out, that there is no ExtJS 
representation for that element yet.

Do you plan to ignore elements for which we cannot find a ExtJS element class 
or do you still want to implement a class for label?

Greets,

Mario Minati
