Created .LESS format in file: dataTables.responsive.less #3

Thanks for this - however, I've used SCSS in DataTables core and in the other extensions, and don't really want to maintain both files (unless someone has made an automatic conversion tool?).

Totally understand not wanting another file to manage. It was really more of a "helper" for those of us that are knee deep in using a compiler on a pre-existing project application that has been set in .Less format from Bootstrap for a year or more now. Each time there is a new release containing style modifications for DataTables or any of the Extensions as well as Plug-Ins, I have to create a .LESS format from the .CSS file provided in the update. So few plugins have a .LESS version (and even less frequently do I see .SCSS formats -- well for the projects I've had my hands in this year) and was just trying to save someone else in my shoes some time since I had already done the legwork for converting.

Maybe I should have tossed it into a sub-folder or extras folder, so it wouldn't have been the primary source for stylesheet, but would have served as a good starting point when ever there are version updates -- easier for a contributor to modify from that point. Hindsight.... I'll keep it updated in my fork if anyone needs it.

Yup its a good point about needing to maintain it yourself. If there are enough votes for LESS support I would certainly centralise it.

The built CSS is also in the repo. Could you not use that?

CodeKit doesn't import / minimize CSS mixed with LESS that I am aware of.

It's not that big of a hindrance since SCSS format was provided. They are structured the same and much easier to visually convert by eye and hand than from CSS. So I appreciated the SCSS format find!
