jezdez/django_compressor — Issue #192: compressor is looking for files in static/ even though STATIC_ROOT and COMPRESS_ROOT are site-static/

I've found that when the missing screen.css file is in static/ (a folder we use for global static files), but not yet in site-static/ (before running './manage.py collectstatic'), the error reported in #191 isn't occuring anymore.

This leads me to think that, contrary to the [documentation](http://django_compressor.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings/#django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_ROOT), the files aren't only looked for in COMPRESS_ROOT, but also in (at least) the static/ folder.

We haven't set COMPRESS_ROOT to anything, but STATIC_ROOT is set to point to site-static/, and just in case you wonder, MEDIA_ROOT is set to media/.
