[greasemonkey] [Greasemonkey] New button added to GreaseMonkey manage window

[Matt Labrum]

+1 
I quite like this idea scince creating a file renmaing it then adding the 
meta data and then writing your code is quite hard 
eg if you just want to stop sites redirecting with something like 
window.setTimeout = function(){return;} its over kill to do the above for 
one line of javascript.

and it might also increase the amount of scripts being made because more 
people will be able to create scripts easliy.

but i also propose a "export" button which when clicked brings up a download 
dialog so you can save that script to your harddrive (insted of opening it 
up using edit and then saving it else were)
