sprouts-extensions

Purpose

Sprout-extensions is a set of little extensions monkey-patched into Sprout. It adds:

the ability to use gems/tools on github

mxmlc "app.swf" do |t| t.gem_name = 'jerryvos-sprout-flexsystemsdk-tool' end

the ability to easily alias your sprout task to a simpler, namespaced version

namespace :build do
  desc "Compile the main swf"
  mxmlc "app.swf" do |t|
    t.task_alias = 'main' # the alias
  end
end

# rake -T
rake app.swf    # Compile the main swf
rake build:main # Compile the main swf

smarter tracking of when a rebuild actually has to happen when your task isn't named the same as your output file
- For the following task, sprout/rake will always rebuild the file, even if it already exists and the dependencies are up-to-date. With sprout-extension this doesn't happen
```
mxmlc "my_task_name" do |t|
  t.output = "my_app.swf"
end
```
