Future developments

Ideally I would like to provide this as a module for Moodle, but at this point in time, I don't think that there are any hooks in the Moodle API that would allow me to extend an existing module, so this must remain as a theme hack for now.

I will try to keep this script up-to-date with the latest versions of Moodle and browsers but feel free to contact me if I've neglected something.
