Title: Accept a :root option to change the template directory from the sinatra views directory, render templates w/ only the .jst extension 

Hey,
I am adding this (awesome) gem to an existing project. I added some configuration options to avoid moving and renaming a ton of template files. This shouldn't break compatibility.
