Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/hacksalot/HackMyResume

Fixes #97 but we still need to support standalone PNG (ie, a PNG not
generated as part of a .all output target).

+HackMyResume or FluentCV projects.*
+
+HackMyResume is a standard Node.js command line app implemented in a mix of
+CoffeeScript and JavaScript. Setting up a build environment is easy:
+
+
+## Prerequisites ##
+
+1. OS: Linux, OS X, or Windows
+
+2. Install [Node.js][node] and [Grunt][grunt].
+
+
+## Set up a build environment ###
+
+1. Fork [hacksalot/HackMyResume][hmr] to your GitHub account.
+
+2. Clone your fork locally.
+
+3. From within the top-level HackMyResume folder, run `npm install` to install
+project dependencies.
+
+4. Create a new branch, based on the latest HackMyResume `dev` branch, to
+contain your work.
+
+5. Run `npm link` in the HackMyResume folder so that the `hackmyresume` command
+will reference your local installation (you may need to
+`npm uninstall -g hackmyresume` first).
+
+## Making changes
+
+1. HackMyResume sources live in the [`/src`][src] folder. Always make your edits
+there, never in the generated `/dist` folder.
+
+2. After making your changes, run `grunt build` to package the HackMyResume
+sources to the `/dist` folder. This will transform CoffeeScript files to
+JavaScript and perform other build steps as necessary. In the future, a watch
+task or guardfile will be added to automate this step.
+
+3. Do local spot testing with `hackmyresume` as normal.
+
+4. When you're ready to submit your changes, run `grunt test` to run the HMR
+test suite. Fix any errors that occur.
+
+5. Commit and push your changes.
+
+6. Submit a pull request targeting the HackMyResume `dev` branch.
