Paul Drew amused Merlin with these comments:

The one caveat being that if your page is trying to close a window that it
did not open (like one of those annoying popups), some browsers will warn
the user and ask them if the action is okay.

I know IE6 does this.  However, if it is a window that your page/script
opened, and the page stayed within the same domain, then you "own" that
browser instance and can close it with impunity.

I just mention this for completeness sake, and so that you won't
necessarily rely on it automatically happening.
