I always get surprised when I find that jslint isn't in the archive.  I
think it should go there.  I'm happy to coordinate that work.

jsbuild is entirely too complicated for mere mortals to use.
Sometimes, when I use it, I summon the Elder Ones and Cthulu eats my
soul.  I think a simple `cat` and a call to YUI compressor would be
much easier.
