17340	Mark up script-loader.php versions for programmatic updating	markjaquith		"Whenever we update one of our dev CSS or JS files, we have to use YUI to re-minify them, and bump their version number in script-loader.php. The YUI part can be done programmatically, but it's not quite possible to bump the script-loader.php version numbers without manual intervention. If the number strings (yyyymmdd{optional-abcd suffix}) were marked up with PHP comments in a standardized way, we could automate that step as well.

Since any script would have the file name in hand, I propose the following:

{{{/*#wp-admin/css/wp-admin.dev.css#wp-includes/css/fake.dev.css*/'20110203b'}}}

That is, a PHP comment block that immediately starts with a hash (#) and is followed by one or more dev URLs that the version number applies to (multiple ones separated by another hash), and immediately followed by a version string enclosed in single quotes, in the format:

{{{/'([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([a-z]?)'/}}}"	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	General		normal
