Thanks! This is exactly what I needed but didn't knew this directive.
Indeed, parsing with PHP seemed insane the first time I saw it, and
the Apache is much better. :-)

Yesterday I set the autoprepend trick to gzip the javascript, and the
whole YUI-ext which is 275KB becomes 60KB compressed (according to
Firebug). The components I really use, including YUI's base utilities,
are about 180KB when everything is loaded and, compressed, the browser
loads only 45KB. Nothing bad, and I didn't knew it was that good to
serve compressed javascript. I'll move to the Apache solution and
start to use that, instead.

Thanks!

Now, Merry Christmas to everybody. :-)
