[theme-reviewers] Dynamic CSS and WP Customizer API

[Justin Tadlock]

Note that `wp_add_inline_style()` requires that you add the style in
addition to a style loaded via `wp_enqueue_style()`.  This is because the
function requires a valid handle from a stylesheet that's been loaded.
 This is certainly possible to do, but it may be easier to simply hook into
`wp_head`.

If you need a full, working example of using the Theme Customizer plus:

* CSS hooked to `wp_head`
* CSS added to the visual editor
* Use of the WP Cache API
