unnecessary spaces from JavaScript files? Would love to see support for that 
one day. Currently we are doing this with a filter at the web server level and

Yes. The module will need to be rewritten to parse other languages. I'd like to 
use Ragel, a state-machine generator that operates on data buffers.
