[jQuery] Re: jquery and minify

[Sam Sherlock]

Thanks Ariel.

I have found out that http://code.google.com/p/minify/ retains comments when
that are like /*! */
also I have seen that sometimes jQuery has this style of comment already

 You should keep the headers somewhere, preferably close to the code.
 Something like this:

 /**
  * jQuery
  */
 (function($){...});
 /**
  * Plugin 1
  */
 (function($){...});
 /**
  * Plugin 2
  */
 (function($){...});

Yeah, I was just showing you the layout. We (jQuery) implemented the
/*! since 1.3 because the YUI compressor is now used and it indeed
recognizes /*!.

Cheers
