[Greasemonkey] barriers to entry

[Aaron Boodman]

Alot of scripts (but not Lickr, which I install promptly everytime I
start a new GM installation) fall into this category for me.

While I find them interesting, the thing they are meant to address
doesn't bother me. I can see people who, for instance, use PCs would
not have a problem with current Flickr.
