There should be an option to disable logging; I don't need my logfiles littered with statements like:
debug: cache hit:/path/to/file.js

This should be trivial, except for how to handle the use of data in the template. This might be achievable by using a "virtual" to process the template with data.

It would be great if Cabinet had a filter for minifying plain-old CSS files. The LESS parser can do this if you feed it a CSS file and pass compress:true to the tree.toCSS method.

I'd be happy to contribute such a filter if that's something you'd be interested in including. Would it make more sense as a separate CSS filter, or as an add-on to the existing LESS filter? If it's the former, I'd also modify the LESS filter to accept a compress option for compressing the compiled CSS output.

Another simple question/issue. I've noticed that you can minify javascript with the minjs parameter, but CSS is minification seems to be excluded. Is this by design, or has it merely not yet been implemented?

After taking a look at the readme and code it seems that this requires the use of a virtual to concatenate assets. Is this true? If so, will a concatenation virtual be added to this?

While writing a virtual of my own, I noticed that it was not recompiling when its component files were modified. I quickly checked this out using cabinet.virtuals.manifest, which also failed to recompile on change.

My first suspicion is that this is happening because I'm running this on Windows, which might have some inconsistent watch behaviors.

The title says it all really.
