+/*//////////////////////////////// ABOUT \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*\
+
+	BRUNCH CONFIGURATION
+
+	Brunch is a "task runner" that performs the common operations for
+	developing webapps. Essentially it transforms your source files and
+	copies them to a 'public' directory, where a built-in webserver can
+	make them available to viewing in a browser by visiting localhost.
+	It also supports "plugins" to provide additional functions like source
+	code minification and transpiling other script languages into pure CSS
+	and Javascript. This is similar to other popular task runners like
+	Webpack, Grunt, and Gulp.
+
+	We're using Brunch for NetCreate because  it has a 'minimal
+	configuration' philosophy. Although you still do need to do some
+	configuration (see below) it's a lot less confusing than either Grunt or
+	Webpack, and is considerably less verbose than Gulp. Brunch is also a
+	mature project (6+ years) so it is a fairly safe bet moving forward.

+/// CONCATENATION /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+/*/ Brunch intelligently combines source javascript, stylesheets, and
+	templates into single files. It includes not only your source files in
+	the app/ directory, but is smart enough to look in node_modules/ and
+	vendor/ directories. The joinTo property allows multiple ways to define
+	all the sources you want combined into the named file.
