Zapier's very own CoffeeScript

Does three things at the moment:

1. A /* */ style comment for the version which CoffeeScript places on every file. This makes it play nicer with tools that concatentate files.
2. Supports a new from ... import ... syntax which playes nicely with RequireJS
3. Also support a plain import ... syntax for imports without return values

Example usage:

#
# core utilities
import 'log'
from 'json' import JsonWrapper
#
# framework dependencies 
from 'jquery' import $
import 'mylib'
from 'use!underscore' import _  
from 'use!backbone' import Backbone
from 'use!backbonecache' BackboneCache

initialize = () ->
 go('now')

gets pre-compiled into

/* Generated by CoffeeScript 1.4.0 */

define(['json', 'log', 'jquery', 'use!underscore', 'use!backbone', 'log', 'mylib'], function(JsonWrapper, LogWrapper, $, _, Backbone) {
  var initialize;
  return initialize = function() {
    return go('now');
  };
});

NOTE We detect the end of the "importing" section of the header by a blank line so make sure not to put a blank line until after your last import.
