Including an external JS/GM script library

Bingo! Thanks Lenny! Gareth's import looks like an answer
at install time,
but I went with your GM_xmlhttpRequest/eval suggestion. Is
there a way to
turn caching off in GM_xmlhttpRequest so that the user
always gets the
latest? Maybe a value in the headers? 

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');
}

that

|For now, if you're pulling the script from a guaranteed
safe

|GM_xmlhttpRequest and eval to run the code in the
Greasemonkey sandbox.

The common workaround is to add a random value into the
querystring.

XMLHttpRequest's are not cached.
