+This directory contains tools used in the packaging or deployment of OpenLayers.
+
+Javascript minimizing tools:
+
+ * jsmin.c, jsmin.py:
+ jsmin.py is a direct translation of the jsmin.c code into Python. jsmin.py
+ will therefore run anyplace Python runs... but at significantly slower speed.
+
+ * shrinksafe.py
+ shrinksafe.py calls out to a third party javascript shrinking service. This
+ creates file sizes about 4% smaller (as of commit 501) of the OpenLayers
+ code. However, this also has the side effect of making you dependant on the
+ web service -- and since that service sometimes goes dead, it's risky to
+ depend on it.
