Vanilla, by Mark O'Sullivan (http://lussumo.com), is a plain forum engine. Each functionality is added by a plug-in, and each plug-in can add his own javascript and CSS files.

All these files should be merged to reduce the number of http requests and make the page load faster.

Inspired by the CSS/JS merging script of Ed Eliot, this patch allows Vanilla to do it automatically. It also use JSMin, by Douglas Crockford (and David Holmes for the php version), to reduce the size of the javascript file(s).
