Compass Golden Type

Golden Type applies "Golden Ratio Typography" outlined by @pearsonified. This Compass plugin will generate the values his calculator does.

As of Compass 0.12.rc.2 (03/11/2012), sqrt is included in the Math Helpers which makes installing this plugin unecessary.

You can now use the mixins as-is from the core and adjusted files, but I'm leaving up the documentation for anyone who hasn't or doesn't upgrade to >0.12.rc.2.

(sudo) gem install goldentype

###Add to a project:
