if you start serving static images and aggregated CSS bundles from a CDN and in the CSS files there is a sprite that changes here and there, then there is a good chance that flushing the image from the CDN might not be enough due to browser cache. Since there is already a function (_drupal_build_css_path) that prefixes url() paths in CSS files might as well add the CSS version to the path to avoid this issue.

the patch would add the css bundle version to the path in the url() to make sure it gets refetched by the visitors.
