Handlebars support in Spine

readme.md

NOTE: this is not working yet. It's a work in progress

Spine & Handlebars

• Mod the package.json file to include handlebars
• run the "npm install ." command to install the lib
• Modify the slug.json to include handlebars to provide the lib
• Add the slug.js to the root folder of the app to load up handlebars support

running hem server should now support finding .handlebars files in the view folder
