Lua: memorizing window settings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

DawnBringer made a lot of nice scripts with settings. But it's a pity that the 
windows "forget" your settings - For example if you've used Desaturate with 15% 
settings and you see it's too much, you can undo the change and run script 
again, but the window has forgotten your setting of "15% and reset to default 
(25%). It's not a big problem when there's a single setting, but some screens 
have a lot of options.

I'm trying to find a way to use "persistence" in Lua... Script should have the 
ability to save some data that can be re-loaded next time it's run (into same 
local variables)

Isn't that done now with the memory library ?

It works but it stores text files in a subdirectory of scripts/
It will fail (and cause runtime script error) for people who use an "installed" 
version of Grafx2, on Linux and also for all Windows users who installed in 
'Program Files' (as recommended when not using WIP versions) and aren't running 
as Administrator (which is recommended, always)

The new ability of storing scripts in subdirectories will also be a problem, 
because now every subdirectory should have one subdirectory where the 
persistent data is stored.

So, the proof-of-concept works, but it doesn't really integrate well.
