Sorry, this has gone in the wrong list, should be TYPO3 v5, but I think 
it will be integrated into extBase and so be usable in 4.3 too. But the 
questions are designated for another list.

The CSSEngine allows you to use certain "filters" on your CSS files, 
these filters can be added as plugins. For now I will start with plugins 
for merging CSS files into one and parsing special constants you can 
define (eg. putting your colors in a central place so they can be 
changed easily and the CSSEngine will make a "normal" CSS file out of 
this). But more things could be done of course, maybe a shrinker that 
eliminates whitespaces or you could embed your background-images into 
the CSS file 
(http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/inline-images/).
