Tasks

• grunt local - Populates the local/ directory with compiled CoffeeScript and SCSS files and copies over other non-compiled source files
• grunt work - Runs the local tasks and ends with a watcher that compiles to local/ on the fly
• grunt dist - Populates the dist/ directory for a distribution build
• grunt test - Runs the Jasmine specs in spec/ against a fresh local build
• grunt release - Creates a zip and gzip tarball of the distribution files in a directory named after the package
• grunt serve:forever - Launches a node server on port 8125 by default. Useful for viewing Jasmine tests in the browser
