JavaScript minifyer which can be integrated with a build of an ASP.NET application

Inspired by this answer.. Can you guys point me to something similar--something that can be integrated into a build-script or perhaps directly into Visual Studio?

The first link from womps post (Nick Berardi's blog post) uses the YUI Compressor for java. So if you don't want to have the extra dependency of java / installing java, then you can do the same thing with a .NET port of the most excellent YUI Compressor project -> YUICompressor for .NET.

Maybe that might help :)

*Disclaimer: I did most of that port.

Visual Studio projects use MSBuild, so you can integrate an MSBuild task that uses whatever javascript minifier you'd like.

This has been blogged about pretty extensively so I won't bother trying to come up with the specifics here... but a quick google search yielded some good posts.
