I don't believe it handles gzipping, but I'm pretty sure HTML_AJAX can 
compress output for JS files automatically (strip out all whitespace).  
I can't remember the parameter you have to pass to it off of the top of 
my head, but it would be worth looking in to.  It also has the ability 
to mash multiple JS files into one request as well.

It might be something to look at for a base.
