I mean node-uglify.  I believe that's the tool the jquery project uses 
themselves for their minification.

I elaborated more on this at bug#679665.

Good idea!

In my opinion we should start simple and recommend use of node-uglify in 
our Policy wiki page.

(then later we can consider introducing a package to auto-(re-)compress 
allowing local admin to deviate from a default compressor)

What do others in the team think?
