[PATCHv5 2/6] Gitweb: add support for minifying gitweb.css

From: Mark Rada <marada@uwaterloo.ca>
Date: Apr 1, 2010, 05:36 UTC
Message-ID: <4BB430C3.9030000@mailservices.uwaterloo.ca>

The build system added support minifying gitweb.js through a JavaScript minifier, but most minifiers come with support to minify CSS files as well, so we should use it if we can.

This patch will add the same facilities to gitweb.css that gitweb.js has for minification. That does not mean that they will use the same minifier though, as it is not safe to assume that all JavaScript minifiers will also minify CSS files.

Though the bandwidth savings will not be as dramatic as with the JavaScript minifier, every byte saved is important.

+- You can optionally generate a minified version of gitweb.css by defining
+  the CSSMIN build configuration variable. By default the non-minified
+  version of gitweb.css will be used. NOTE: if you enable this option,
+  substitute gitweb.min.css for all uses of gitweb.css in the help files.
