Hi!

It will probably only help marginally. My packer (unlike Dean Edwards) is  
clever enough to keep newlines where they are unsafe to remove ("safe"  
compression is named like that for a reason :) ). Most of the time you add  
a semicolon to allow safe removal of the newline, but that's the same  
amount of bytes (one) except on DOS and Windows :)
But it's generally good to have linted JavaScript, as it's more likely  
that unlinted js fails to pack than linted.
