Hey all,

I recently spent some time messing with the 3.2 asset pipeline to get it to
behave in a certain way. I'm trying to decide if I should bother packaging
it into a gem, and it would be helpful for me to know if anyone else has
run into the same issue.

What we wanted was to mount assets at a couple different places in our app.
Most assets were fine at the default `/assets/` path, but we wanted certain
ones available at `/addon/`. I didn't want to do it with nginx aliases
because that seemed like inappropriately pushing application logic into the
web server, and it wouldn't work in development.

I came up with a solution that uses a config setting and takes care of the
asset pipeline-y stuff automatically (including precompiling). The config
looks like this:

    config.assets.extra_mountpoints = {
      '/addon/' => {
        :path => "lib/assets/other/addon",
        :precompile => [/.*\.js/]
      },
    }

So, has anyone else wanted to do something similar? And would you be
interested in a gem to help you do so?

Ian
