SASS Image CSS Cache Busting (via Compass)

Can anyone explain a best practice approach to implementing a cache buster in SASS? Meaning, on 'compilation' of my CSS, it appends a timestamp to images files. E.g.,

The following SASS code:

!sprite="gubs.gif"

ul
  li.selected
    :background
      :image= image_url(!sprite)
      :repeat no-repeat
      :position= "right" -222px

Should produce:

ul li.selected {
  background: url(../images/gubs.gif?123456789) no-repeat right -222px
}

In the ruby tool juicer, this is automatically done for you. But I can't seem to find documentation on how to do this in SASS, via Compass.

Make sure you are using compass v0.6.5 or greater.

Also, you'll need to make sure you have the images_dir set in your configuration file relative to your project root directory and set http_images_path = :relative.

Once you have done all that, and it's still not working, the best place to get support is the compass mailing list.
