Feature: JavaScript caching

Right after minifying your CSS and JS files, Wedge will cache them and gzip them. The good point is that it's smart enough to cache multiple files together, relieving the server a bit.
I'll use my script.js example again. At the time of writing, the regular script.js/theme.js duo is about 50KB in SMF2 (split over two files), less than 30KB in Wedge (with many extra functions in them), and the actual stuff you download is a single 6KB file, after minification and gzipping. Meanwhile in the wasteland, SMF2 still sends you 50KB of data. Because everyone knows all end-users absolutely need to have comments in the JavaScript code they execute.
