//1.2 changes - got rid of http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_xmlhttpRequest#finalUrl
//1.1 changes - updated for bug (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2008/mfsa2008-64.html) (I should have used http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_xmlhttpRequest#finalUrl before)
//1.0 changes - fixed a glitch with the flashvars (changed 't=' to '&t=') and updated flowplayer
//0.9 changes - changed hosting of flash player to my site (forboden.com) because of the security changes in flash 10 (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_security_changes_02.html#head1).
//0.8 changes - updated for site changes.
//0.7 changes - fixed the problem with the new youtube video URLs.
//0.6 changes - updated for changes on youtube.
//0.5 changes - changed the way the script works to make it compatible with the changes in greasemonkey.
//0.4 changes - removed the original player earlier so that the original player wont accidentally play if the script takes a while to get the new player (can happen sometimes with slow broadband)
//0.3 changes - fixed an issue with "related" urls
//0.2 changes - fixed so it works on www.youtube.com urls as well as http://youtube.com

Features:
