Comment (by pmclanahan):
I'd agree that it's a hard problem, and likely one that few if any
projects get right. I will however say that we run into this a good bit
and can't imagine that we're alone. We've been solving it by including a
special comment that our css minifier knows to leave in so that we can
cache bust the CSS file when we update images w/o touching the CSS. But
this is obviously error prone as it's manual and requires an exhaustive
search for references to the modified files.
