Wouldn't it be possible to integrate a new minification generator that
uses t3lib_div::minifyJavaScript() to generate these compressed scripts?
The risk with manually generated compressed scripts in the core is that
on updating the uncompressed version one forgets to recreate the
compressed version...

Besides that: Ingmar is working on a possibility to merge an minify
JavaScript and CSS files automatically...
