[Greasemonkey] Script Configuration by the end-user

[Julien Couvreur]

GM_setValue is definitely the way to go.
The question becomes what kind of UI to present. Some options:
- put the settings in popup window generated and opened by the user script,
- same but inline floating div,
- integrate your settings in the settings page of the original website,
- integrate your settings in the main UI of the original website (if
there is a bit of room and only few/simple settings).

Cheers,
Julien
