[cgiapp] A novel framework solution to smart assett caching

[Mark Stosberg <suppressed>]

This page describes a technique for smart asset catching.

In summary, by combining automatically generated file names with
URL writing, you get a nice effect:
  - assets are declared as being cached forever, minimizing load
  - when the asset changes, so the does the filename, forcing a new
    copy to be fetched.

The result, it seems, is that minimal HTTP requests for assets are made.

An implementation is provided as a Rails plugin, but the concept could
be ported to other frameworks....
