New template variable EscapedPostURL available

If you want to use a technorati link tracker rather than the trackback implementation (and the technorati link tracker does have some definite advantages), this new variable in the post template will help, since you need to pass the URL of the post to the technorati script in a way that preserves the entire URL. It's more useful, admittedly, for those who have their permalinks directed to their weekly archive pages than for those who have their permalinks going to the individual archives pages (since the former will always include the # character which is special in a URL, whereas the latter won't). Still, it's here for whatever use you might find for it. Flexibility is always good. :-)
