If anyone uses Kohana I maintain a packaged which wraps the PHP cssmin and jsmin libraries (plus some Kohana juice for serving files/caching)

There is also a port (or rewrite) for Kohana V3 that someone else maintains http://github.com/zazu/minify

I'm not sure why YUI Compressor is last on that list, and why it's not mentioned that it also minifies CSS.

Last could be a position of honor. And he mentions that it produces higher compression ratios.

Two months ago I hooked up jsmin from a build script for release configurations. It's been helpful to have all of the reader-friendly stuff stripped out automatically without having to store minified copies in source control.

That's obviously a best practice. Minified code is essentially object code.

I wrote a couple of articles a while ago about minifying css/javascript on the fly. They utilise a mod_perl handler which intercepts outgoing css/js and compresses them on the way out.
