Gemfile / Rakefile creation in project. #3

Given the intent of aspen, I think it would be cool to create a Gemfile / Rakefile as part of your initialization sequence.

It seems like we'd want a Gemfile if the list of gem dependencies grew to be fairly long - fair? In which case, we're not really at that point yet. Elaborate please...

Based on the goals of this project, it looks as if you're setting up a layout very familiar to what Sinatra will gives you in terms of a 'generic folder structure' (without the MVC framework).

For example, if I'm creating a scraper and I want to store my data into a sqlite3 database, I may want to create a rake task that uses nokogiri to gather information at a particular frequency by using the whenever gem. Having a Gemfile / Rakefile created in aspen would be pretty sweet.

Don't forget that Github issues come in many different flavors, and at the end of the day, implementation decisions are up to you and your team. This is merely a recommendation. :-)
