[Radiant] radiant + exception_notification plugin

[Michael Hale]

Ok it turns out that adding the pastie was only half the fix. I also
needed to update the views_path which I did in an initializer. Here is
what my app/config/initializers/exception_notification.rb looks like:

# Make exception notifier compatible with radiant
require 'exception_notifier_ext'
ExceptionNotifier.send(:include, ExceptionNotifierExt)
ActionMailer::Base.view_paths <<
"#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/exception_notification/views"

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include ExceptionNotifiable
end
ExceptionNotifier.sender_address = %("Application Error" <app.error at domain>)
ExceptionNotifier.exception_recipients = %w(mikehale at gmail.com)
