jQuery 1.8.3 can't be minified with JSmin

[salvatore@…]

JSmin doesn't seem to like comments between "var" and the variable name, so this:

var

foo foo,

bar bar;

becomes this:

varfoo,bar

This is a problem with JSmin I suppose, but it's cheap to fix in jQuery.

Sorry, I didn't know how to format code.

This:

var
  // foo
  foo,
  // bar
  bar;

becomes this:

varfoo,bar;

Yes, it sounds like a problem with jsmin. Please report it there or use another minifier like Uglify.
