Firebug support for script debugging

#13

It currently isn't possible to debug scripts using the great Firebug debugger, although that would be particularly helpful.
Let's fix that!

    (from [298f0087d1f531476b5c5977bb743dfc8a1c167b]) New (FF3.5+ only) injection logic, Firebug debugger support [#13 Firebug support for script debugging state:resolved]

    This is a pretty important commit that has impact on several aspects of WM.
    The original goal was to allow script developers to debug their script using Firebug's debugger [1].
    In order to allow this, a new injection logic has been put in place, taking into profit new FF3.5+ evalInSandbox() features [2].
    As a consequence:

    - support for FF<3.5 is removed
    - scripts are no longer wrapped into an anonymous function
    - the @unwrap tag thus is deprecated
    

    As a side note, this commit also paves the way for a coming @jsVersion header tag.
