Prefetches the "next" page on Flickr in an iframe so it loads faster.

Browsing Flickr on a slow connection can be a real drag, because each image can take quite a while to load. A lot of my browsing of Flickr consists of clicking repeatedly on the "next" link, so this script creates a hidden iframe containing the "next" page --- so that when you click on the "next" link (if you spend enough time looking at the current image, anyway), you've already loaded the next image, so the page loads fast.
