/**
 * USAGE:
 *
 * jStorage requires Prototype, MooTools or jQuery! If jQuery is used, then
 * jQuery-JSON (http://code.google.com/p/jquery-json/) is also needed.
 * (jQuery-JSON needs to be loaded BEFORE jStorage!)
 *
 * Methods:
 *
 * -set(key, value)
 * $.jStorage.set(key, value) -> saves a value
 *
 * -get(key[, default])
 * value = $.jStorage.get(key [, default]) ->
 *    retrieves value if key exists, or default if it doesn't
 *
 * -deleteKey(key)
 * $.jStorage.deleteKey(key) -> removes a key from the storage
 *
 * -flush()
 * $.jStorage.flush() -> clears the cache
 *
 * <value> can be any JSON-able value, including objects and arrays.
 *
