Add tooltips style display of help_text, instead of widening the form with another (often ridiculously large) column. Also, version the .css and .js files so that browsers won't display the wrong cached one when we change something. Patch by: Dmitri Gaskin, Todd Larsen Review by: Todd Larsen

"""
Functions for working with "safe strings": strings that can be displayed safely
without further escaping in HTML. Marking something as a "safe string" means
that the producer of the string has already turned characters that should not
be interpreted by the HTML engine (e.g. '<') into the appropriate entities.
