middleman/middleman — Issue #236: Importing *.less files

If you try to import a .less file:

```
@import 'helpers.less'

body {
// stylesheet continues
}
```

You get:

```
Less::ParseError at /style/style.css
file 'includes/helpers.less' wasn't found.
file: loader.rb location: error line: 36
```

The error is the same, regardless of where the included file is placed in relation to your import statement. Placing the file in the same directory, or in a subdirectory (as referenced in the error above), returns the same error.

This probably needs something like [less-rails](https://github.com/metaskills/less-rails) to be properly resolved.
