Removed rails dependency #821

Rails depends on activerecord which is not needed for every project. It is also not needed for twitter-bootstrap-rails to work. The gem already depends on actionpack which should be enough.

The whole point of the gem is to focus on adding rails to the asset pipeline. Are you using the gem in another way, and if so could you explain/demonstrate how? It's a curious notion considering the generators and such.

I use rails, just not activerecord: https://github.com/obduk/cms

The rails gem relies on a lot of things that not everyone needs, so a lot of gems just add dependencies for what they actually need, e.g. actionpack etc.

@obduk check out railsstrap as I've taking your suggestions there and would love your contributions to go into an active project.
