Configuration property to allow positioning the symbol at the left or right hand side of the value

[cattox]

This change will alllow the user to choose if he wants the symbol at the left (R$100) or right (100€) hand side of the value.

@cattox thank you very much for the pull request and sorry for taking so long to reply to you. unfortunally, the pull request can't be automatically merged anymore, so I will apply the changes directly in the new code after the first beta of version 2.0

personal reminder:

• symbolLocation: use this setting to position the symbol at the left or right hand side of the value ('left'/'right')

function setSymbol(v) {
    if (settings.showSymbol) {
        if (v.substr(0, settings.symbol.length) != settings.symbol && v.substr(v.length-settings.symbol.length, v.length) != settings.symbol){
            if(settings.symbolLocation == "left"){
                return settings.symbol+v;
            } else {
                return v+settings.symbol;
            }
        }
    }
    return v;
}

i am interested in making a negative number -$ 123 into ($ 123). it this possible?
I wish i had discovered this plug-in a year ago. saved a lot of code and time.
thank you very much.

@mynumbercrunching that's not possible yet, but I think that it's not that hard to do. The main problem is to create a config to allow that and still be compatible with the default negative form(using -)

I actually want to have jquery-maskmoney working with jQuery Globalize. Globalize uses a currency pattern, e.g. fr-FR currency pattern is:
{ pattern: ["-n $","n $"] }
where 'n' is the value, and '$' is a generic currency symbol placeholder

It's not hard to do, so I'll probably fork the project and implement it, then do a pull request later.

@baohouse that would be great :)
