The first thing new users to Jekyll do is open _config.yml, so this
change adds a simple welcome message to the top of it. Additionally,
it informs the user that the file is not automatically reloaded when
changed, which is a point of confusion for new users.

Rename the pygments configuration option to highlighter to allow
different highlighters in the future. For now, the allowed values are
`pygments` and `null`.
It's now more straightforward to plug another syntax highlighter.
It would really pain me if the default Jekyll site were XHTML. That'd be bad for the internet.
Instead, use Twitter Bootstrap as a base (while still keeping @mojombo's origin design), to give users a great initial baseline to build beautiful, simple sites.
Defaults are more than just the starting point. It's what 80% of users are going to use. Look at WordPress and the default theme. May as well lead by example and start the user off right.
* Add Bootstrap base CSS as a better reset and base layer
* Update default layout to HTML5 with boilerplate best practices
* Add title and post date to post.html (rather than including in the post itself)
* Make site title a variable and add to _config.yml
* Add page title to header
* Add default .gitignore to ignore `_site`
* Remove unused `rss.png` and `.gitkeep`
* Add Modernizr for legacy IE support
