// $Date: 2005-08-02 03:56:21 -0700 (Tue, 02 Aug 2005) $
//
// Released under the GPL license: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
// See http://www.bitfodder.com/
//
// Changelog:
// 2005-07-12 - Initial version
// 2005-08-02 - updated for GM 0.5 beta (which disabled GM_xmlhttpRequest access to local filesystem)
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This is a Greasemonkey user script.
//
// To install, you need Greasemonkey: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
// Then restart Firefox and revisit this script.
// Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script".
// Accept the default configuration and install.
//
// To uninstall, go to Tools/Manage User Scripts, select this script,
// and click Uninstall.
//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// WHAT IT DOES
//
// 2 things:
// 1. redirects you by default to the "directions" form when accessing
// Google maps (http://maps.google.com)
// 2. adds 2 drop-down menus to the form, pre-populated with your favorite
// locations.
//
// HOW TO SAVE/EDIT YOUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS?
//
// create an XML file and upload it to a web server.
// It should have that structure:
//
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
// <addresses>
// <address name="HOME"> 3590 Alameda de las Pulgas, Menlo Park, CA</address>
// <address name="WORK"> 4131 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA</address>
// <address name="MOZILLA">1350 Villa Street, Mountain View, CA</address>
// </addresses>
//
// Then update the MY_PREFERENCES_URL constant at the top of this script.
//
// NOTES
//
// If Google changes the names of the inputs for start and end, we're toasted!
// All items added to the Google page will be prefixed with gm_ml_
