Vendor of rails_admin

FWIW, I'm on Rails 3.1/ruby 1.9.2 and want a clean production precompile (such that I could have config.assets.compile = false in production.rb so realtime compilation never happens).

I had to do the following things to make this work:

use the rake task in https://gist.github.com/1185448 instead of the builtin assets:precompile

vendor the rails_admin gem. This is wise to do for production apps anyway since it's not really versioned yet. I do this by:
=end
  % (cd vendor/git ; rm -rf rails_admin ; git clone git://github.com/sferik/rails_admin.git ; rm -rf rails_admin/.git)
and having

  gem 'rails_admin', :path => 'vendor/git/rails_admin'

in my Gemfile

in the rails_admin gem, rename app/assets/javascripts/rails_admin/rails_admin.js to app/assets/javascripts/rails_admin/application.js

in the rails_admin gem, rename app/assets/stylesheets/rails_admin/rails_admin.css to app/assets/stylesheets/rails_admin/application.css

in the rails_admin gem, change references in app/views/layouts/rails_admin/main.html.haml from rails_admin/rails_admin.(css,js) to just rails_admin/application (no suffix)

I don't know how much of this is that no one else has tried to production deploy with these requirements (no dynamic compilation of assets) or if I've missed something that's simpler to do, but it is working as intended.
