Optimised async loading of cross-domain scripts
/*
* Updated to use the function-based method described in http://www.phpied.com/social-button-bffs/
* but retaining the use of a document fragment to minimise the number of times objects are
* written to the DOM. Also, better handling of scripts without supplied ids.
*
* N.B. Be sure to include Google Analytics's _gaq and Facebook's fbAsyncInit prior to this function.
