a smaller, faster coffeekup

#subtractions

• no cache; manage it on your own.
• must compile templates before rendering them
• no support for browsers, frameworks
• no cli tools
• no scope option (use context instead)

#additions

compileFile:

template = ck.compileFile './template.coffee'
html = template context: user: {}
console.log html

correctly handle booleans:

template = -> input autocomplete: off
console.log ck.compile(template)() #<input>
console.log coffeekup.render template #<input autocomplete="false" />

IE conditionals:

ie 'lt IE8', ->
  link href: 'ie.css', rel: 'stylesheet'

#other

ck doesn't add slashes to self closing tags. I'm not actually sure what's right, see this for some reading....

recently another attempt was made at minimizing the coffeecup engine called coffee-templates. it was inspired by and uses some of the same techniques as ck, so may be worth a look, as well.
