You can look at google's javascript compiler, closure.

I've been using it in my Rails projects for some time now, through a tool called Jammit, and it does do wonders compressing JS to ridiculous sizes.

You can just append them one after another in a single file, or better, minify them alltogether, with either the YUI Compressor or Google Closure compiler....both will combine all files passed in and minify them as well. Then, you just serve that one file to your users that contains all your file you want to combine.
