[support] Where to add items to the <head> section for all pages?

A few things here:

- Theme's can override any tpl.php file. You simple copy the tpl.php 
file to your theme's directory and clear Drupal's cache and you're ready 
to change that file. This isn't "hacking core", but rather the power of 
Drupal's templating layer.

- No need for a custom module just to add javascript. The Drupal way in 
D7 for theme's to add javascript is using the .info file, so long as 
that file is to be included on every page rendered by the theme. If you 
need something more conditional, then you can use drupal_add_js inside 
mytheme_preprocess_page(). Check out the comments here:

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_add_js/7#comment-14344

- You can also use drupal_add_js() to add inline javascript. Check the 
documentation on the link above. You would want the 'inline' type of 
adding in the code.

- Whenever you add a theme override function or change the theme's .info 
file, you must clear Drupal's cache for the changes to be noticed by Drupal.
