Custom Grunt script for couting CSS imports count, and seperating files before hitting IE limit of 31 imports
/*
Processing CSS @imports file, and counting how much @imports it includes.
If import count reaches the limit of 31 files (in IE8-9) and more, script will create additional CSS files:
input.css:
@import 1;
...
@import 36;
output.css:
@import 1;
...
@import 30;
@import output2.css;
output2.css:
@import 31;
...
@import 36;
Script is based on PostCSS https://github.com/ai/postcss and cuts down other CSS rules during the processing.
Maybe this script will be moved to seperate Grunt plugin in future.

Useful snippet for getting Grunt config from this kind of functions https://gist.github.com/operatino/d8ec45b39c27ade30757
