Reconized fields in package.json

• name
• title - an alias of name
• version
• description
• homepage - homepageURL
• bugs - supportURL
• license
• author
• contributors - contributor
• repository - if homepage is missing and repository is provided, it will try to guess homepageURL according to this field.
• engines - compatible

Other fields like include, exclude, etc, could be set in userscript field.

{
	"userscript": {
		"include": ["http://example.com/*", "http://example2.com/*"]
	}
}

The metadata defined in userscript would overwrite the fields in package.json root.
