Needed - Visual Studio Custom Build Actions To Minify JS and CSS

Question

I've been using Combres in my applications to compress, combine and minify my javascript and css at run time. This works extremely well and satisfies YSlow perfectly.

Now I'm rethinking the whole process for performance reasons, and I'm more so thinking about doing all of this at build time instead of run time.

I'm hoping that I can get a little advice on how to do this without too much hassle. Is there an existing tool (similar to Combres) that can do what I need?

Meet Chirpy

Chirpy Mashes, minifies, and validates your javascript, stylesheet, and dotless files.

Chirpy is chippy. Use Google Closure Tools or YUI Compressor for .Net to minify and mash all of your precious assets. It's easy, it's flexible, and it's automatic.
