Better Bower Support / No need to compile library dependencies

including dest and prebuilt js files

Please see this post with regards to bower standards.

Not sure that jquery-ui needs to be added to this dest directory.

Is there a reason it is there in the first place? I never changed anything to the grunt file. So whatever is in the dist/dest was there in the build processes originally.

They're just here for the demo page, which is included in the package.

I can remove them, I probably will.

The problem of this bower support is that it uses git for storing minified versions of source files. And I do not want to do this. It's like requiring to store binary executables in the same place as source code in C (or whatever). I don't like the idea.

Plus, it's a pain to maintain.

Now, if you come with a better idea, I'll agree to consider it and support bower.

We can add whatever you want to ignore to the .gitignore and bower ignore list
As for bower requiring minefield js filese.. That is false. There no idea of maintenance as it is just compiled / generated file. People with grunt , gulp, rails .. Etc will minify the file themselves.

Let me know what should be in the ignore list.

I don't completely get your point, but as I'm not an user of bower, if you
can propose a solution for supporting bower the good way, I'll be glad to
add it.

I just modified the .gitignore to not add non "end product" library files that are in the dest directory after a build. This way only what should be registered to be in bower is more to the point. I cleaned up the dest directory as well.
