Migration from buildr to docpad for compilation process

[balupton]

@andreasbernhard been using docpad to build javascript projects successfully for a few projects now:

• https://github.com/balutpon/jquery-scrollto
• https://github.com/bevry/jquery-slidescrollpanel
• https://github.com/bevry/query-engine
• https://github.com/rstacruz/js2coffee

Happy to implement this for this project as well, so we can drop the very old buildr dependency.

It will be able to handle minification and concatenation of all our files, as well as deployment to github pages, and even pre-processor support if we ever wish for it.

It would be great if you could integrate docpad to build history.js!

Sweet, is there a particular branch I should fork to do this on?

Just use the "dev"-branch :-)

Working on this on the docpad branch - https://github.com/browserstate/history.js/tree/docpad

This is ready. The branch needs the latest changes merged in. We also need to decide how to name the files going forward, as providing pre-bundled files is very 3 years ago.

As a way to solve the different file naming, I'm looking into client-side CDNs that use the npm registry, as a way to deliver the bundled files, rather than bundling them in the repository ourself: https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/4280#issuecomment-30261632
