📄 Description

This changes the previous nonstandard lessc to the official one and
enables CSS minification via the clean-css module.

To build CSS, Node.js is required along with a npm install to get the
tools installed locally in node_modules so there is no dependency on
binaries in PATH. Benefits include:

Allows one to have a standard lessc in PATH.
Can now use command line switches on lessc.
Minified CSS brings faster page load times and also has the benefit
of discouraging contributors from editing CSS directly.

To build CSS, Node.js is required along with a npm install to get the
tools installed locally based on the information in package.json.
