Comments within IE conditional comments are removed

[jhadenfeldt]

Somewhat related to #19:

I use gulp-useref for my minification but as I understand, this is an issue of useref itself.

When using conditional comments like these:

<!-- build:css resources/css/main.css -->
<!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./main.css">
<!--<![endif]-->
<!-- endbuild -->

Then the comment itself is being removed and becomes:

<!--[if gte IE 9]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/main.css">
<![endif]-->

This syntax is a valid syntax and usually used to load files for certain IEs and all other browsers (see Wikipedia)

I not use correct IE Conditional for jQuery

    <!-- build:js wwwroot/js/App.jquery.min.js -->
        <!--[if gte IE 9 ]><!-->
            <script src="/wwwroot/lib/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
        <!--<![endif]-->
    <!-- endbuild -->

    <!-- build:js wwwroot/js/App.jquery.Legacy.min.js -->
        <!--[if IE 8]>
            <script src="/wwwroot/lib/jquery-legacy/jquery.js"></script>
        <![endif]-->
    <!-- endbuild -->

+1 Same problem here, the <!--> is being stripped, which breaks the conditional comment.
