Thanks Jamie, I've added this flag and re-factored the code a good deal.
The result is much cleaner and much faster to execute.

Gears pre-caches a good deal of the required files prior to them even  
being requested.
The net result is if you've enabled Gears the browser won't even hit  
Webmin to see if the static files have been updated, it will just pull  
everything from the cache.
On a WAN this improves the client experience significantly and from a  
server perspective it significantly reduces the number of inbound  
requests.
