There is a function called GM_executeContentScript in Greasemonkey's
CVS, that does this. You can use it for now by just copying it into
your script from miscapis.js [1]. Then call it like so:

GM_executeContentScript(function() {
  // run code in a bookmarklet context, such as:
  window.functionToOverride = function() { ... };
});

Mark actually asked about this for the upcoming version of Dive Into
Greasemonkey [2], so presumably the link you provided will eventually
be updated to reflect this method.

BTW, Aaron: is the function going to be in the next release?
