[Building Sakai] use Google Analystics

[Steve Swinsburg]

It should indeed by non blocking. 

However, if you put it in the footer, then you might not get true stats since activity within a tool will not be recorded as it is in an iframe and the footer is not repainted.

What about sitestats?

cheers,
Steve
