Allow easier hooks to provide simple, custom stylesheet/javascript requires

Created by: coneybeare

Problem

I made a custom Font-Awesome field that displays a stored icon name string ("fa-facebook") as its rendered icon rather than its name. After getting the appropriate gem, I need to add one line into the application.css file.

Generating the entire administrate:assets:stylesheets stack so I can plug this one value in seems a bit sledgehammerish.

Ideas

Not sure if any/all of these are technically possible.

• Somehow add a hook into the stylesheet and javascript manifest files that can require into the main app by looking in a special folder or file.
• Have main app define the root manifest files for the engine, with only a require administrate.scss etc... entry in it. This would allow additional requires before or after the gem scss.
• Setup some sort of config variable that could take some paths to require within administrate.scss

Or maybe I am just dense and am not seeing the easy way to do this without freezing the entire stylesheet stack into my main app. Ideas?
