        Found <a href="http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/articles/2006/03/23/dirt-simple-rcss-templates">here (with more info).</a> Probably the best new Rails blog around at the moment.

class StylesheetsController < ApplicationController
  layout  nil
  session :off
  def rcss
    if rcss = params[:rcss]
      file_base = rcss.gsub(/.css$/i, '')
      file_path = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/stylesheets/#{file_base}.rcss"
      @color = '#f77' # example setting
      render(:file => file_path, :content_type => "text/css")
    else
      render(:nothing => true, :status => 404)
    end
  end
end
