Configure helpers via config

[mrsteele]

This is a feature request:

It would be wonderful if we could inject a helpers-module that can be used in your patterns. Not sure why this hasn't been considered before.

Great idea! I'll look into this for 1.1.0.

I was able to work around this using the plugin system: https://github.com/rwaymouth/plugin-node-engine-extender.

It works, but would definitely be more efficient if there was a way to do it directly in the patternegine itself.

@bmuenzenmeyer, where do you think the right place might be for devs to put their custom handlebars helper modules? Maybe _meta?

I think that'd be a fine place - all things considered.

• + Especially since the intent would be to share them as part of source code.
• - Puttng them there though, means that people must be aware that a clean install of a starterkit over the top may blow it away.
• + (on the other hand, you could include handlebar helpers inside a starterkit)
