I changed the code in my local copy of the app to use the newer
asynchronous queue. I'd be happy to push the change to github / add a
task to the pinax tracker.
The main benefit to this change is that you can avoid js exceptions
from not having the _gat object available due to any reason (like
users blocking Google Analytics / ad blockers). My IE7 was choking on
the missing _gat object and then not running the rest of my javascript
which then ruined my UI.
