No because command line utilities differ for every platform. We can compile for Windows or Mac OS X but for Linux it is hardly possible: each distribution has its own libraries, they are often in different places and not very compatible.

My points are:
- t3lib_div minification is ok for small scripts
- for large or static script the web site developers should minify scripts manually
- for the point above developer just should not be lazy :)
