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.
The problem is that this theme's tpl file does not include the <head> section.
You copy the html.tpl.php from the modules/system directory into your theme's directory then clear your cache. Now you can edit the html.tpl.php file in your theme's directory to make any changes you want. I suggest reading the theming-guide, particularly the sections on "core templates and suggestions" as well as "overriding themeable output".

- 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.
That will only let one include JS files in the theme's directory. I need to include both files on another server, and also inline javascript in the head section.
Documentation is your friend! Please refer to the link I supplied earlier:
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_add_j...
In the very first example blocks are examples of how to add external javascript as well as inline in the head.
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_j...
That does look like a solution, but where to put the call to the function? I it supposed to be in the tpl.php file? I stress that this theme's tpl.php file does not have a <head> section.
you create a template.php file inside your theme's directory. Inside of that you create a MYTHEMENAME_preprocess_function, changing MYTHEMENAME to the name of your theme (same as the name of your .info file without the .info). Just follow the example in that comment and you'll be fine.
