grunt-init-vanilla

I've been unhappy with the default templates available for grunt-init.  None of them were a good fit for a "vanilla" javascript library like this.  So, of course, it was time to strike out and make a template that did work for me:

This serves my needs much better and was a good further exercise developing with and on Grunt.  I'm pleased by how much Grunt can do, but creating a template did feel more difficult than i'd expected, even with the available examples.  Much of this comes from a lack of documentation and some surprising results (like the behavior of init.writePackageJSON).

If i had all the time in the world, i'd be tempted to make a grunt-init-init template for creating templates. But that's not gonna happen.  Odds are better that i'll be forking grunt and/or grunt-init and submitting pull requests one of these days.

Just In Case

In my continuing experiments with Grunt, i decided to reinvent a wheel with Grunt from the start, instead of adapting an existing javascript library to a Grunt build.  For no particular reason, i wrote a library to identify and convert the case of strings.  Here's the result:

It handles all the usual suspects and is easily extend to handle new ones.  Not a bad day's work.
