mootools and google closure compiler

[noiv]

mootools (core+more+clientcide) behaves quite nice with the javascript
optimizer at
http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home

Only pattern like for (var i = 2; i--; i){} lead to ignorable
warnings. The compiler runs in the cloud on google's app engine
framework accepting POSTs using curl or local (http://closure-
compiler.googlecode.com/files/compiler-latest.zip) and fits perfectly
in a scripted, automated process.

I could reduce overall loading time and size by more than 30% with
simple optimisation. Still re-writing code for the advanced
optimisation, though.

Just for the early adapters.

I dont see point in FOR third statement:

for (var i = 2; i--; i){}

I'd rather do:

for( var i = 2; --i; ) {...}

Some problem was the reason for the statement at the end. I think it
was Dean Edward’s packer, but I cant really remember.
