Oops. I renamed it to default.css everywhere when merging to jinja 
branch. (I also had a buildbot.css, so I was confused.)

Yup. That ought to make the above mistake irrelevant, I hope. :-P

However, the CSS file needs to be served statically instead of via 
HtmlResource, we need to do something slightly different there.

(I thought about serving everything through twisted.web.Resource:S, but 
different templates will probably use different images/css:es, so that 
won't work)

Or just use a similar directory-overriding scheme that we plan for the 
templates?

(Perhaps we can locate data through the same loader classes? It seems a 
bit inconclusive at the moment.)

The loader docs are here:
http://jinja.pocoo.org/2/documentation/api#loaders

The good news is that FileLoader also accepts a list of directories, so 
allowing local overrides will be trivial.
