Appends a random __cachebuster parameter to the URL. Handy for when you're forced to deal with browsers that cache in retarded ways and you're going a little bit insane always wondering why you aren't seeing the changes you made. It's a little dumb; just appends each time so if you hit it over and over, your URL just gets longer and longer. I'd welcome a patch to find/replace the existing __cachebuster parameter if it already exists.
