asset-precompile should always compile Config.groovy

[aadrian]

When running the asset-precompile, it should always compile the Config.groovy file with it's settings (or pick the changes to this file).

With version 2.9.1 + Grails 2.5.4 this is not the case and saved changes done by the user in Config.groovy seem to be ignored.

This appears to work fine for me can you produce a test project?

I can see this problem on several Windows machines (win7, win8.1, win10):

• create a new project with grails create-app myproj
• update the plug-ins to use 2.9.1 (or the latest) as suggested by grails list-plugin-updates
• use Bower ( http://bower.io ) to get some JS dependencies under /myproj/grails-app/assets/bower_comopnents. Usual libs like momentjs, underscore, bootstrap, etc.,
• because those libs also contain allot of junk, constant tweaking of Config.groovy (e.g. what to ignore) is required until asset-precompile delivers the correct and clean results.
  The effect is that once at the Grails prompt, changes made in Config.groovy won't be picked even if the user executes compile. Restarting of the shell and cleaning of /target is required in order for the changes to take effect.
