I see it like this:
- move all inline code to files, leave only settings inlined
- minify/gzip all core javascript, make a Makefile for that (can be 
executed on any platform)
- make a switch in the core to use either compressed or uncompressed 
versions of the file (or reuse "debug" flag from existing config vars)
- adjust package scripts to create precompressed files

Same for modules. Javascript for some most often used modules can be 
included into the core javascript in "not debug" mode.

It is a bit complex but it allows to create a single small javascript file 
for the whole core and still debug the code if necessary.
