 * A way to simplify/automate the process of making a sails api, using blueprints.
 * it takes a list of models you'd like to generate APIs for, and adds them to the sails app, through a system call.
 * TODO: if you could also specify associations between models, this would make it amazingly quick to prototype a backend API.
