Adds a variety of useful submodules.

Base Codeigniter App

Note: this contains a variety of submodules. after cloning, be sure to git submodule update --init and you should be good to go.

Includes the following submodules:

• CodeIgniter - application folder is outside so that we can just pull vanilla codeigniter updates.
• Twitter Bootstrap - in assets/twitter_bootstrap. This is my fork of bootstrap to allow for minification of js without breaking. I keep it updated from the main repo though. (I submitted a pull request on this but they wouldn't change it due to "strong opinions about semicolons").
• Kenji's CIUnit - a fork of CIUnit (PHPUnit support for CodeIgniter applications) that works in CodeIgniter 2. This is on bitbucket in mercurial so I couldn't add it as a submodule unfortunately. The way it is set up it spreads all over the application folder anyway so it's not just a drop-in tool. For sample tests clone his repo. The version included is from January 28, 2012.
• QUnit - for JS unit testing.
• JQuery Mockjax - excellent tool for mocking ajax requests for JS unit testing.
• LessPHP - php LessCSS interpreter.
• Carabiner - drop-in to third_party version of Carabiner - an asset management library.

Additional tweaks:

• Welcome page is re-done with:
• twitter bootstrap
• less css
• minified and combined JS and CSS through Carabiner
• simple template setup
• htaccess from html5boilerplate with codeigniter snippet at the top to remove index.php.

Permissions:

• assets/cache needs to be writable
• application/db_cache needs to be writable for database query caching to work
• application/cache needs to be writable for page caching to work
