Example of compiling scss files with compass

 compass :: WatchManager -> FilePath -> IO ()
 compass man dir = do
  putStrLn $ compass  ++ encodeString dir
  treeExtExists man dir scss $ fp ->
    when (deploy notElem splitDirectories fp) $ do
     let d = encodeString $ head (splitDirectories rel)
     system cd  ++ d ++ && bundle exec compass compile
  return ()
