Milk: Make include list kit - Black Math edition

Reusing JSDB (from Shanti Rao), which is basically a host embdedding SpiderMonkey, Milk provide some common build tasks for your ECMAScript projects in a command-line tool.

Wait...

First, JSDB realy is a great tool, and even if you can compile it in such a way that you can obtain an executable for Windows and Linux, you can obtain only a command-line tool, and Milk just crave for a GUI.

Second, Milk in JSDB is already done, but honestly the code just sucks and I'm ashamed of it, and worst the tool smells the unmaintainable big ball of mud coded in 2 days smells.

So, Milk will be based on Apollo and be redone from scratch and hopefully have an improved design.

My goal for Milk is to make a swiss army knife for building any ECMASCript source code.

Another goal (and not a secondary one) is to provide a 'GUI in context', that means depending on the context of your task compiling Flex2 / compacting JavaScript / etc. the visuals and options of Milk change dynamically.

Priority One Features planed:

• one executable/host, no dependencies, cross-platform Win/Mac (Linux if possible)
• a comprehensive GUI but still powerfull command-line arguments
• combine multi files to one file
• remove comments from source code
• compact source code

General Features planed:

• GUI panel to compile with Flex 2 compiler
• GUI panel to compile Apollo applications
• ECMAScript config files
• save/load config files
• different profile (dev, release, debug, etc.)
• zip files/releases
• upload files/zip to FTP
• generate a detailled log of the building
• run unit tests
• generate unit tests
• generate ReadMe, etc. from template
• get info from Subversion

This project will start as soon a public alpha/beta for Apollo will appear AND will support exe access.
