We have to achieve a balance between rapid-widget-turnaround and 
build-complexity. I believe the suggested solution *greatly* simplifies 
the build. Rapid trunaround can be maintained with either a local 
symlink, or by adding a optional copy task to the grunt watch task.

Yes, we can re-visit this in the future when both 1) we are ready to 
take advantage of such integrations, and 2) when the maven/grunt tooling 
is more mature (or we are in a position to actively help develop such 
tooling).
