This is currently published as a fork, but if the direction here is something folks like, I will be happy to re-work this PR into something mergable. For now, I'd like to get feedback. Specifically, I find that the targetExtension property, probably doesn't make as much sense now but I'm not sure how to maintain backwards compat otherwise.

From the original README:

Q: Can this help with compilers that are almost 1:1, like a minifier that takes
-a .js and .js.map file and outputs a .js and .js.map file?

A: I don't know yet how to implement this and still have the API look beautiful. We also have to make sure that caching works correctly, as we have to invalidate if either the .js or the .js.map file changes.

I'm not sure if this API is considered "beautiful" (such is in the eye of the beholder) but it is identical to the original API until you need to add a second output file at which point you just need to accept a new argument and call a callback with the string and the relative filename. This works with caching.

@chriseppstein I like this approach as opposed to a hook. Adding a hook a dev implements is more in the vein of Broccoli APIs, however I think you would loose the flexibility that this approach affords.
