Using the Asset Pipeline to circumvent IE8 CSS file count limit
===

I have come across IE8's 31 CSS file limit. 

I am thinking that, unless I am mistaken, the asset pipeline will combine my CSS files for production, and this will therefore not be a problem.

It is, however, a problem while I debug for IE. Is there a way to use the asset pipeline to compile the assets during development. What would the best process for this be?
