Roots Theme modded for Bootstrap SASS, HAML, Compass and Coffeescript

##Difference from original Roots

• grunt-haml-php - Modded for the last version of MTHAML and fix for the compile #7 and #8 (not in the dependence of packages.json!)
• assets/sass - SASS folders
• assets/sass/bootstrap - Bootstrap the SASS way (remember to update with the last version (and rename bootstrap.scss in _bootstrap.scss))
• assets/coffee - _main.js file converted in coffeescript
• assets/haml - templates folder files written in HAML
• compass - grunt use compass for compile the SASS files
• Gruntfile.js - modded for the new settings
• lib/scripts.php - added a rule for WP_DEBUG enabled for insert livereload in the template
• Use WP_DEBUG instead WP_ENV
