Add means to render external skins from within a skin

[robi42]

E.g., <% include ./foo.html %> (this would render external ./foo.html skin resource as subskin named ./foo.html).

I pushed a basic include implementation to http://github.com/earl/ringojs/tree/skins-include.

<% include name=n resource=r %> adds the skin created from resource r as subskin n, allowing it to be used just as an internal subskin. The name parameter is optional, defaulting to the resource path. The named argument resource can also be given as first positional argument.

So the minimal usage example would probably be:

<% include ./foo.html %>
<% render ./foo.html %>

Which includes a skin created from ./foo.html as subskin named ./foo.html. This subskin is then immediately rendered.

thanks! have you considered doing this without the <% include %>, i.e. just loading the external skin if no internal subskin exists with the given name?

ok, updated my branch to get rid of the include.
