Combine css and javascript includes in a single request.

Generates a <link /> or <script /> element for including the given libraries. This combines all css and javascript files in one request, saving multiple roundtrips to the server.

Example:

{% lib
      "css/zp-compressed.css"
      "css/zp-admin.css"
      "css/zp-wysiwyg.css"
      "css/zp-dialog.css"
      "css/zp-formreplace.css"
      "css/zp-finder.css"
      "css/zp-growl.css"
  %}

Will output:

<link href="/lib/css/zp-compressed~zp-admin~zp-wysiwyg~zp-dialog~zp-formreplace~zp-finder~zp-growl~63417066183.css" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />

The number at the end is the Unix modification time of the most recently changed file.

{% lib
  "css/not-so-important-styles.css"
