Currently facebook videos work with generic, but not very well.

Need to support
- Login
- Quality (currently chooses lowest)

Actually, the generic information extractor is not really working for some 
videos. For instance, it doesn't work with:

https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=207446242657384

I pushed some fixes to 'youtube-dl' at github (see 
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/pull/199) and it would be nice to have this 
implemented in get-flash-videos also.

Regards.

I've started some work on a Facebook plugin, as the generic downlaoder did not 
work for me either. https://github.com/monsieurvideo/get-flash-videos/pull/103

It successfully downloads the video linked above.

I've also successfully downloaded some videos that require login by using 
firefox's cookies.

c6f9167c82 I think that this might be a useful feature for get-flash-videos, as 
an extra commandline option.

First pull request now merged, updated plugin added version.

The second about cookies - I'll register a don't know yet the implications of 
adding HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla, for a start on OpenBSD there is no package for 
that, I could look at creating one. No offical package for Debian either. Not 
sure about Windows.
