Greasemonkey (http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/) is a Mozilla Firefox
extension that allows you to write scripts, in JavaScript, that alter
specific Web pages.

I've written a "compiler" for these scripts. It's a Python module that
takes a user script as input and creates a full-fledged Firefox extension.

This is useful if you're a script developer and want to distribute your
work to people without having to ask them to install Greasemonkey. It can
also be a helpful starting point if you want to write a more advanced
Firefox extension.
