New cross-platform, certificate-free, JS/CSS-able dotjs

[luciopaiva]

Since this repo is not being maintained anymore, I don't expect this PR to be accepted any time soon. I just want to draw people's attention to my new implementation of defunkt's dotjs.

This new dotjs is cross-platform (well, it runs on all platforms supported by Node.js) and it's easier to install, since it doesn't require you to deal with any certificates.

Here's the link, in case you're interested: https://github.com/luciopaiva/witchcraft

Update: added the ability to include custom scripts via an @include directive.
Update 2: it now also handles CSS scripts as well

Thanks, I actually added a note to the top of the README linking to Witchcraft. It looks really good - cheers!

Awesome, @defunkt. Thanks for the generous link and for dotjs itself.
Cheers!

For those interested, I recently dropped the dependency on Node.js following a suggestion from a user that didn't want to install Node.js just for that. My extension now uses a Chrome app that does the heavy lifting of fetching files from disk. I wanted to implement this mechanism inside Witchcraft itself, but then I'd need to make it a Chrome app instead of a Chrome extension. The problem is that new Chrome apps are no longer being accepted by the Chrome store; they are deprecating apps (although extensions are still being supported).
