New user to CodeKit so I apologize if this feature request is already in the product and I'm missing it.

I am setting up some frameworks and more than a few of them contain CSS files that I want to include in my own projects. When I set up the framework, however, it does not recognize CSS files - only LESS files. Could I just change all the CSS files to LESS files in my frameworks? Sure...but here's why that's a problem: I have a ton of frameworks that I pull down from Github to get the latest versions/fixes and I don't want to have to change the file extension every time I do this. Here's what I'm looking to do:

1) Find a cool project on Github with useful CSS and whatever in it.
2) Clone down project to my machine.
3) Set up framework in CodeKit that references this project.
4) Include needed CSS files into my own projects using CodeKit via the @import "coolFile.css"; directive.
5) Occasionally do a pull from Github to get any changes / fixes to the referenced file(s).

Does that make sense? From what I can tell this is not possible right now as CodeKit only recognizes LESS files in frameworks. If it could recognize CSS files in frameworks and import those files into project LESS files via the @import directive it would be great.
