Can a greasemonkey-type userscript be packaged as a Chrome extension?

Question

Today Google changed the way userscripts are installed in Chrome. No longer can you just click on a link that contains one, confirm a couple dialog boxes and have it instal

Answer 1

You could use a Chrome extension like Tampermonkey to run/manage your userscripts without having to install them as extensions themselves.

(I've never used it so I can't say if it's any good, it's reviewed well though)
