Be able to use ruby sass instead of sassc

[alesya-h]

I found this project trying to integrate stylesheet build step into our project's boot setup, but our styles use Compass, which heavily depends on ruby sass compiler and cannot be built with libsass (sass/libsass#82, Compass/compass#1916).
It'd be awesome if boot-sassc can be configured to use sass instead of sassc.

Sounds like @alandipert is also interested in working on this.

For the record, I'm totally open to this, but I also wonder if the differences are enough to warrant a different task? (boot-sass versus boot-sassc) Or if the differences of pulling in JRuby + gem aren't really that bad due to pods, we could support both and only load what the user really wants at runtime?

[alesya-h]

@mathias given currently it uses sassc as external executable, there might be no need to pull in JRuby - just ask user to install sass/compass as plain ruby gems if they wish to use sass

The reason I'm interested in sass gem in a pod is so that our application can depend on a version of sass. Developers have been installing different versions of sass (sass gem, sassc from source, sassc from docker, etc) with mixed results.

If we could pin our projects to a version of sass, team development on the project would be easier.

I agree that shelling out is also useful and I like the idea of doing either, depending. I'll work more on it and report back here with results.
