 * Convenience middleware for Node.JS / Express.

 * In your Express app setup you can do:
 *
 * var apres = require('apres');
 *
 * Now when you are setting up your middlewares, routes, etc you can add:
 *
 * apres.helpExpress(app);
 *
 * Which will automagically serve up static apres assets from /apres/
