Title: Make Nerdhub themable

This is the first attempt to make hcking.de themable and therefore allow us to make nerdhub.de just one installation of the hcking system.

This has a major downside: Front End Development becomes EXTREMELY annoying, because you have to make changes to the nerdhub-theme, then rake install it before you see changes in the application. This sounds like Java-land to me and is unacceptable.

This Pull-Request was created to start a discussion on how to do that in a way that doesn't make it such a pain, because I think it is a good idea. I have two ideas on how to do that:

1. *Do it the other way around:* Make hcking an engine and nerdhub an application that requires hcking.
2. *Add hcking as a git submodule to the test folder of nerdhub-theme:* Not sure if this solves the problem.

I propose the first solution as an opportunity to make hcking/nerdhub more modular and flexible by later breaking the hcking project in multiple rails engines.

I await your input, @nerdhub team :)
