Hold-off on checking-in jsmin.  The original author of the packer has
not decided whether allow us a BSD-ish license or ZPL.

Can't at the moment.  My note to Benji explains.  Maybe after I see the
new contributor agreement...

Of course, I went "eek!" first when Balazs wanted to include the packer
in jsonserver / concatresource when it was GPL.  This will be handled in

License referenced.  If you need different, I will be happy to relicense.
