Sinatra-Boilerplate-On-Heroku.rb

# Based on:  
#  http://github.com/bmizerany/heroku-sinatra-app
#  http://www.sinatrarb.com/book.html#heroku
#  trial-and-error
#
# I tried using Blake's sample code from github, 
# but for some reason my Heroku.com app was running in 
# a directory called /mnt.  This did not correspond to the
# name of my app. The code below is more explicit when it 
# comes to the name of the app file. That is the only difference.
#
# Note: This is for Heroku.com, not Herokugarden.com.
# The difference is that Heroku.com is running the latest Sinatra gem.
# Herokugarden.com is running the older Sinatra gem.
# More info. at this thread:
