bootstrap.less does not compile because of errors in variables.less

[DmitryEfimenko]

In the original variables.less various variables are misplaced. For example, one variable uses another, that is not defined yet (it gets defined right after). This causes bootstrap.less not to compile.

Below is corrected version of variables.less. You are welcome to compare and see mistakes for your self:

We fixed the navbar and another's order in 2.1.1-wip already.

[DmitryEfimenko]

The reason I came across this issue is that I downloaded "Bootstrap, from Twitter Less Source" using nuget.
I assume then 2.1.1-wip is not a part of nuget package yet?
