[Qt-qml] Tool to pack / minify content of QML files ?

[Gregory Schlomoff]

Yes, I was checking those tools, they are great, but we need something
that integrates nicely into the build workflow.

For example, the best tool to pack QML probably is Douglas Crockford's
JSMIN (http://javascript.crockford.com/jsmin.html)

JSMIN is very conservative, it really just strips comments and
unnecessary whitespace, unlike other tools that attempt more
aggressive optimizations that may not be compatible with QML. The
source code is one single .c file, available under a permissive
license, so if nobody did this before, we are going to use that in our
build workflow.

But I'd like to suggest to make this feature part of RCC.

What do you think ?
