It is possible that your hacking of it did not work because someone has overridden it (search for other html.tpl.php files)
This template (and any overrides if it is allowed to be overridden) is supposed to get the html tags to include scripts from the $scripts global, which it will print out. A theme is supposed to add needed scripts with a statement in its .info file like: scripts[] = foo.js
Note also that you will need to clear caches after making changes or they may not appear.
A quick google search find http://drupal.org/node/1073212 which has a discussion of a similar issue.
Thanks. I suspect that my attempt at hacking the core did not show due to the fact that I did not clear the caches - I didn't even know that they exist!
What keywords did you google on to find that page? At the time of the original post, I did google but I did not find anything relevant, frustratingly, as I probably did not know which keywords to google for.
