Actually, I've already tested them both with production code.
At CrazyEgg.com we use the compressor in our build process, along  
with our own obfuscator.

And they really do different enough things that I would always want  
to run them separately.

Actually, I think the minimizer one would be better suited replacing  
the ⌃⌥Q keystroke for Unwrap Paragraph / Reformat Compressed.  
That's an existing standard in many bundles already, having a custom  
way to reformat the code.
Except hack the command to work on the selection or the current line.
Then I'll need to commit my Reformat Uncompressed commands too.

If you have the bundle in svn already, send me a link, if you just  
have a zip or whatever else already, send that. I'm rarin to go!
