[Koha-devel] Introduce the use of Grunt or Gulp?

As an example, here is the range of tasks covered by an introduction
to Gulp (https://markgoodyear.com/2014/01/getting-started-with-gulp/):

Sass compile (gulp-ruby-sass)
Autoprefixer (gulp-autoprefixer)
Minify CSS (gulp-cssnano)
JSHint (gulp-jshint)
Concatenation (gulp-concat)
Uglify (gulp-uglify)
Compress images (gulp-imagemin)
LiveReload (gulp-livereload)
Caching of images so only changed images are compressed (gulp-cache)
Notify of changes (gulp-notify)
Clean files for a clean build (del)

(And yes I will also push for us to convert to Sass).
