[Building Sakai] User browser cache problems following Sakai upgrade

[Charles Severance]

I just filed a JIRA for this issue.  If folks have design suggestions - please comment here:

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-23628

If there are no comments - I will build an implementation as described in the JIRA and put it into 2-9-x.
