sealdeal is a set of tools for streamlining your front end build process.
Current features include automatic js/css concatenation, pre-processing
assets, shared layout files for html pages and a test server.
Future plans:
minification
plugin system to add other compilers/preprocessors/templating languages
documentation
better support for project templates
