The SL Wiki says:

"This permission is used with the llRequestPermissions function and can only be requested of the object owner. When the function is called a dialog will pop up asking the owner if they wish for this object to be able link/unlink prims/objects. If the permission is granted then the script will be able to link itself to other prims/objects (of the same owner) using llCreateLink, or unlink itself using llBreakLink or llBreakAllLinks."

Is there a way to get an automatic permission to allow the object unlink without me having to approve it each time? I don't want to have to get a confirmation dialog each time someone wants to do this...

Your script only needs to ask this once of the owner when they first rez the object. It will then be able to link/unlink as many times as it wants without further permission. Even if the owner logs out of SL and comes back, their permission will remain as long as the object remains rezzed.

The script just needs to be granted permissions once. If you take the object after it is granted permissions and the script doesn't reset on rez then you can rez it as many times as you want (at least this has been my findings when using an object rezzer).

So there isn't a way to give it automatic permissions without having to ask me even once? Can't I just force the permission_change_links to be approved or whatever?

if you could do that, they wouldn't be called permistions
there are some commands that really should have permistion calls that don't.

/nod like PERMISSION_TO_SPEAK

(clicks the no button when your av asks for permissions)

Well, it should still be optional. See, I want to be able to allow people to destroy objects but they will be automatically put back together (like the domino script resets itself) after, say, the user leaves the lot. To be asked permission to destroy lots of objects would be quite...irritating.

A note on this: when the owner is not around the object, the object can't link/unlink. So, for the owner it always works ok, but to passing visitors during her absence the objects will not work.

I thought they fixed that.

well I would point out that ones you've granted the script permission, it contains that permission until you ask for new permissions. Thus you would only have it ask you ONES if it can do the voodoo that it dose so well.

BUT you could put a bunch of parts inside the object. Have the object rez those objects and then do some thing to hide it self. Like return to inventory, transparency 100, delete.

Thinking about the oddities of sls... I can delete an object with out permission, but I can't change it. Considering how one just rearranges the object, and the other remove it permanently, it dose seem kind of odd.

kurt's right, scripts are now able to link/delink even if the owner is absent. (yay!)

and, yeah, what you said about being able to delete things... it'd be awfully nice to be able to MOVE things that are on my own land. if someone places an object and i don't mind it being there, but want it 2 meters to the left, it seems reasonable that i could do that.
