Title: interactivity improvements

I recently learned about with-temp-buffer + insert-file-contents, and also find-file-noselect. These make restoring much faster (for me anyway). In particular, before it seemed to be reautoloading modes sometimes(probably due to save-excursion, but I'm not sure), and now it does not. I also made the save/restore functions more convenient if called interactively; they will default to the normal location, and set the pwd to its directory, so you can keep such files in one place more easily. Finally, I used a progress-reporter to give some feedback when restoring many files.
