Carabiner 1.4: Asset Management Library

[eluser]tonydewan[/eluser]
One thing I meant to do, and never got around to, was to post the .htaccess settings I used in my production environment. This does most everything @dmorin's solution does, just differently. Don't use these in a development situation. It will make your life harder. Also, these are just the static asset optimizations. I've left out the mod_rewrite and other stuff that also goes here. (Also, credit where credit is due: I borrowed most all of these settings from someone else. I can't find the site at the moment, but somebody else did most of the work on this one.)
