[Greasemonkey] Including other JS files and using "class" and custom styles

[Philip Friedman - Auto Europe]

Maybe not "straightforward" by Anthony's standards, but it does "include"
library.js in libraryTest.user.js as desired.

Here's the example, that works for the two files in the same directory on
the server. Note that libraryTest.user.js @includes itself, so the URL
construction won't make sense in the real world.

File libraryTest.user.js:

// ==UserScript==
// @name          LibraryTest
// @namespace     /phil
// @description   Library Test
// @include       http://*libraryTest.user.js
// @exclude       
// ==/UserScript== 

GM_xmlhttpRequest( { method:'GET'
  , url:document.location.href.replace(/\/[^\/]*$/,'/library.js')
  , onload: onLoadLibrary
} );

function onLoadLibrary(rsp) {
  eval(rsp.responseText);
  libraryAlert();
}

File library.js:

function libraryAlert() {
  alert('libraryAlert');
  GM_log('libraryAlert');
}
