Description

When the css styleclasses are compressed, optimize further by removing newlines.

From Steve Souder's High Performance Website book, he recommends removing whitespace and comments from the css file to improve performance.
The css file has newlines, which can be removed easily. Also, the comment at the top that says when the file is generated can be removed. The comment at the bottom with the number of selectors is useful. I look at that quite often.
