URL fingerprinting idea

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is just an idea and need to think upon to Support URL fingerprinting for 
even better resource caching/reloading mechanism.

1. Custom tag to link CSS, JS, images or other static resources.
2. For fingerprinted resource, do not send ETag in the response
3. Send Appropriate Expires, Last-Modified and Cache-control headers
4. Fingerprinted resource will not be renamed, but JSCSSMergeServlet will 
resolve such URLs dynamically
5. Non fingerprinted URL should also be able to serve the resource
6. Non fingerprinted URL response may include  ETag based on whether it is on 
or off
7. Fingerprinting based on version, hash or something?

Single tag <wu:url value="url">  will return fingerprinted url to be used in 
html.

Correction to point #2 #6. There is no need to restrict ETag sending for 
fingerprinted resource.
