[Greasemonkey] Cannot use GreaseMonkey :-(

Yes. But....

I vote for an Installation GmScript that is installed with
the Gm installation and enabled by default.

First it should check for some value that turns it off for
sites that are doing their own thing.

Otherwise, it should go through the page and add tooltips
to all *.user.js links in some format to be decided.

Like .XPI extension links, the links should be modified to
support "auto-install" of GmScripts.

That is, modify the link to call a GM_SCRIPT_INSTALL()
function passing it the URL of the script.

You might also want to add a little monkey icon next to
the link, as well. (why not? -- maybe a special one --
with big Uh-Oh eyes, or something like that)

If it is an "auto-install", then you might want an extra
security dialog to come up with a message saying something
like, "You are auto-installing a Greasemonkey userscript by
clicking a link. Should I proceed?" with an OK/Cancel and
also a checkbox saying, "Don't show this again" for us
power users who don't want to be irritated.

If the document being displayed in the browser window is an
*.user.js file, the script should add an "Install" button-link
at the top AND bottom of the page for ease of use for us
and non-power users.

Not hard to do and it would be really nice. And, imo, cool.
