Static resource urls should include version number

Description

As recommended by Yahoo's YSlow -- we want the SCRIPT tags that point towards our javascript, and the IMG tags that point towards our images, to use URLs that include some kind of version number (ideally the SVN revision number for that file).

By doing this, we can configure caching so that static content is cached forever, and when the file changes the URL changes, which forces browsers to download the new version.

It may be difficult to include the SVN revision number, and other solutions will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
