Title: Only depend on railties

Hi,

I'm building a database-less site but I wanted to take advantage of rails 3.1 asset pipeline. Since rails-backbone depends on "rails", it was automatically requiring "activerecord" - and thus shooting a "connection not stablished error".

Depending only on railties fixes this.
