Rails Asset Pipeline + S3

The asset pipeline changed a bit in Rails4, and I've never been super happy w/ the egads approach to tar'ing assets.

So here's my idea for a better approach.

Features:

• Assets are only built once per SHA. (Deploys are fast.)
• Old assets remain accessible on S3 (say, for emails)
• Minimal compiling/uploading/downloading locally and on deployed servers. (FAAAASSSSTTT!)
