[development] $user->uid from popup

[Farsheed]

Another way to do popups is to define a menu path such
as "/popup"

Then have the menu callback be a function that instead
of returning $output, prints and then exits.

function make_popup() {
$output = "Popup test";
print $output;
exit();
}

then you would have to provide the javascript in a
link, such as

<a href="/popup" onclick="window.open(...)">LAUNCH
POPUP WINDOW</a>

Then when a user clicks on the link, it would open up
a new window with javascript, and print out the data
inside the make_popup() function without having to go
through a theme_pager or anything. This way you can
avoid having to bootstrap (which I was told will cause
problems).
