 Currently, YUI compressor is used for compressing the various js files
 into fusionSF-compressed.js

 Unfortunately, YUI seems to be no longer in active maintenance
 (http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2012/10/16/state-of-yui-compressor/) and
 lacks support for modern web developer features like source maps
 (something very useful for "debugging" fusionSF-compressed.js)

 We should look for an alternative to YUI compressor. Preferably one that
 does require node.js, as we don't want to introduce new dependencies if we
 don't have to.
