Hey all, Sorry for coming into this discussion late. If anyone wants to use anything from our JavaScript plugin, feel free to help yourself. It can be found at http://ossi.mobilvox.com/maven-js-plugin or http://sf.net/projects/maven-js-plugin We're using a modded version of JsMin, which has shown a higher compression ratio than DOJO's Shrinksafe. Also, we put in a few other features to customize the compression and what can be done with it.
I'd like to contribute more to this but, time "is not on my side" so to speak right now. This is definitely cool stuff though.
