How do I set Ember Feature Flags?

Enabling feature flags in Ember requires setting an ENV variable before Ember loads. There's already a blank vendor/ember/config/before.coffee file that's being loaded before Ember. You must be running the Canary or Beta build of Ember for feature flags to work. Install it via cake -c "canary" ember:install. Read more on emberjs.com.
