[Cosmo-dev] Compact/compile Cosmo Javascript

[Mikeal Rogers]

We might want to break this in to two items. One for reducing  
bandwidth in general, and another for reducing round trips.

The UI loading slowly I imagine is mostly do to the amount of round  
trips not to the excess whitespace and comments. But for the sake of  
reducing our osaf.us bandwidth bill we obviously need to be cutting  
down on overall bandwidth usage.
