Title: Use base64 instead of hex encoding for asset hashes

Not an actual pull request but rather a request for comments: This change will use a url'ified base64 encoding for asset hashes instead of the hex notation resulting into even shorter hashes. This will be mostly interesting if the future asset system will rely on a real hashing algorithm (such as sha1). As is, this will already save two characters on the resulting hashes. Speed hasn't changed notably for me.
