 The new revisions UI still needs some UI polish. Now that we have
 addressed code/functionality issues i thought i would open a ticket to
 note the outstanding visual issues not addressed elsewhere:

  * the tooltips need work: their placement varies by browser, also it
 would be ideal if the tooltip stayed open while a user dragged the handle
 - currently the tooltip only stays open and updates if you keep your mouse
 confined to the slider handle; the slider on the other hand works fine if
 you drag and keep dragging  but don't stay in the handle with your mouse;
 the result is that if you move off the handle while dragging, the slider
 moves, but the tooltip disappears.

  * the weighted tick marks get off to the left of center when they get
 thicker because of the way they are implemented; should fix so they are
 more accurately centered under the slider handle; last tick mark missing
 in compare two mode?

  * the slider handle graphics are currently encoded as base 64 in the css,
 not certain thats the best way to implement them

  * the 'compare two mode' option placement in the upper right seems
 haphazard, its just floating out there; also we lost the 'single column'
 option for the diff view - not sure if we still want it, but i liked it.

  * with just a few revisions the slider/next/previous seem disconnected;
 with over a certain number of revisions the slider will grow wider than
 the screen;
