Recommended way to include bootstrap library in Ember.JS ember-cli App

Question

I am trying to install properly Twitter Bootstrap in my current ember-cli project. I did install bootstrap with bower :

bower install --save bootstrap

Now the library is downloded in /vendor/bootstrap/dist/(css|js|fonts) I tried what is mentioned here : http://ember-cli.com/#managing-dependencies replacing path and css files names but I get errors regarding the Brocfile.js file. I think the brocfile format has changed too much compared to the example.

I also tried to @import with the /app/styles/app.css file after moving the stylesheets in the /app/styles/ directory :

@import url('/assets/bootstrap.css');
@import url('/assets/bootstrap-theme.css');

But it did not work. The files are visible true dev server : http://localhost:4200/assets/bootstrap.css

Can someone throw me a bone here ?

Thx

Edit :

ember -v
ember-cli 0.0.23

BASH:

bower install --save bootstrap

Brocfile.js:

app.import('vendor/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js');
app.import('vendor/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css');

The JS will be added to the app.js, which is linked by default, and the CSS will be added to assets/vendor.css, which as of May 14th, is also added by default.

For reference: http://www.ember-cli.com/#managing-dependencies

In response to @Joe's question surrounding fonts and other assets, I was unable to get the recommended app.import() method to work on the fonts. I instead opted for the merge-trees and static-compiler approach:

var mergeTrees = require('broccoli-merge-trees');
var pickFiles = require('broccoli-static-compiler');
var extraAssets = pickFiles('vendor/bootstrap/dist/fonts',{
    srcDir: '/', 
    files: ['**/*'],
    destDir: '/fonts'
});

module.exports = mergeTrees([app.toTree(), extraAssets]);
