[TYPO3-v4] Include LESS in TYPO3

[Sebastian Michaelsen]

Certainly some of you know the CSS preprocessor LESS[1].

It enhances the possibilities of CSS by adding variables, nested rules, 
value calculations and something they call "Mixins" (very useful too).

You write LESS-Code which almost looks like CSS, the Less-Compiler than 
produces actual "primitive" CSS code.

Until now the problem was that the only LESS Compiler was written in 
Ruby, but now there's also a PHP-Version available.
And.. good news: Its license is GPL3. IMHO this means TYPO3 could use it.

Having variables e.g. for colors would make skinning the TYPO3 Backend 
even more easy. And also for FE Development it's a great help.

something like
page.includeCSS.myfile.parseLESS = 1
could trigger the preprocessing of a (LESS-)CSS file

What do you think?
