Greasemonkey -> XPI compiler: how to detect when a script is running under it?

Hello, Arantius. I am using your compiler to port one of my userscripts into a firefox extension. The script has got some features that are useful while it's still a script (e.g.: checking for new versions), but completely useless - or, worse, even dangerous - if running as a FF extension. Is there a way to detect whether the script is running thanks to the script-compiler.js or not? I was thinking about a variable, maybe something simple like MOUNTED = True on loading of the script and False on unloading, but how to achieve that? Or do you have any better suggestion? Thanks a lot, and keep on doing your great job :) Daniele
